Description: | The incidence of ulcers associated to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases every year. We introduce and explore a new mathematical algorithm to evaluate wound-healing in foot ulcers associated to T2DM. Fifteen patients (nine women and six men), mean age of 70 6 16 years were included. The evolution of their wounds followed-up for a period of 18–45 days. According to the Wagner grading system the ulcers were grade I (5 patients), grade II (9 patients), and grade III (1 patient). Clinically, the type of the ulcers was neuroischemic (12 patients) and neuropathic (3 patients). A new parameter is introduced, the ‘‘continuous linear healing rate’’ Dc that was more accurate with higher values and requires less quantifications than usual formulas to make a wound-healing projection.
