Methods According to the diagnostic and classification criteria of diabetes and diabetic foot of World Health Organization (WHO), outpatients and inpatients with diabetic foot ulcers admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Dazhou Central Hospital from October 2013 to May 2015 were randomly divided into a silver ion dressing treatment group and a traditional dressing treatment group. The effective rate, time of occurrence of granulation tissue, wound healing time and wound area reduction ratio between the two groups were compared by using SPSS17.0 software. Results A total of 80 patients were included, of which 40 patients in each group. Compared with the control group, the total effective rate was higher (92.5% vs. 62.5%, P=0.001), the occurrence time of granulation tissue (6.4±0.72 vs. 10.8 ±1.9, P=0.000) and wound healing time (31.3±8.2 vs. 47.4±11.5, P=0.000) were shorter, and the wound area reduction ration was greater (46.3±7.6 vs. 32.6±6.1, P=0.000) in the silver ions dressing group with significant differences.
