<br/><br/> Non healing ulcers and the resulting potential amputations present signicant costs to the health care system and reduce patient quality of life. The goal of chronic ulcer treatment is to obtain wound closure as expeditiously as possible. The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to enhance wound healing has increased dramatically over the last decade. However, controversies exist in the literature regarding the added benet of this procedure. The aim of this study is to investigate the efciency of platelet releasate on the healing of chronic ulcers. This study included 10 patients with chronic ulcers. The results showed that healing with the use of  PRP  was signicantly faster. Suggesting that topical application of PRP is more effective than standard therapy in helping a chronic ulcer to heal
