Surgical Management of Xylazine-Associated Wounds
Xylazine-associated wounds occur on all parts of the body. Substance use rehabilitation is associated with healing. Local wound care is effective for chronic, noninfected wounds. A staged reconstructive approach is preferred once the patient is optimized. An algorithm for multidisciplinary management is beneficial for standardizing care.
