Abstract

---

Chronic non healing ulcers of lower limb due to diabetes, sickle cell disease, peripheral vascular disease, hansens disease, burns and venous ulcers which are refractory to conventional treatment are tried with autologus bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy. Ulcer healing was then observed with control group of similar type of ulcers where only conventional ulcer therapy was tried. The progress of ulcer healing was then observed by appearance of good quality granulation tissue, marginal epithelial migration and ulcer contraction in stem cell applied ulcers in contrast to control group.
