The moulded double-rocker plaster shoe in the field treatment of plantar ulcer

Abstract

The present study has shown that the moulded double rocker plaster shoe offers a very feasible method of treatment of the simple plantar ulcer under field conditions. It is effective, inexpensive, socially acceptable and it can be applied, and the patient sent home, on the same day. There are no significant complications which have been noted either during or subsequent to this trial.
