  Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of Amniotic Membrane graft in the treatment of chronic venous leg ulcers. Research Design and Methods: Prospective, randomized, non-blinded study. Eligible patients were randomized to one of 2 groups: Group I: (Control group) included 11 chronic leg ulcers, in which ulcers were treated with conventional moist wound dressings and multilayer compressive bandages. Group II: (Amniotic Membrane group) included 14 leg ulcers. Amniotic membrane was placed in contact with ulcer and held in place with secondary dressing and multilayer compressive bandages. all patients were evaluated for healing rate and change in ulcer size. Results: Healing rate showed significant difference between group I and group II (p = 0.001). Group II (AM) patients demonstrated near complete healing of 14 ulcers in 14-60 days with mean of 33.3 ± 14.7, healing rate range was 0.064- .. Read More»
