Abstract

Complex wounds can prove very challenging even for the most experienced clinician. Here we present a series of three cases where suboptimal outcomes from conventional treatments led to further investigation, resulting in unusual diagnoses that affect wound healing. These cases highlight the benefit of varied clinical input from a multidisciplinary team in the management of complex wounds.
