The use of radio waves (pulsed radio frequency energy) has become well accepted in the treatment of chronic wounds. We present 2 cases of complex diabetic foot wounds treated adjunctively with outpatient pulsed radio frequency energy using a solid-state, 27.12 MHz fixed power output radio frequency generator that transmits a fixed dose of nonionizing, nonthermal electromagnetic energy through an applicator pad. This therapy, in combination with offloading, debridement and advanced dressings, resulted in closure of both wounds in approximately 16 weeks.
