ABSTRACT

Chronic ulcers generate an important health problem and worsen the quality of life. The use of hyaluronic acid has been proposed to accelerate the healing of chronic ulcers: vascular, diabetic, postoperative and pressure ulcers; in addition, its use is safe and profitable. However, it is necessary to increase the number of scientific studies to examine the efficacy and possible complications of this treatment in the short and long term, as well as to explore its possible synergistic effect with other therapies.
