4. Wounds located under a Charcot deformity had to be free of acute changes and must have under gone appropriate structural consolidation.
5. The index ulcer had to be clinically non-infected and full - thickness without exposure of bone, ligaments, or tendons.
6. The protocol requires that post debridement the ulcer would be free of necrotic debris, foreign bodies or sinus tracts.
