Case sharing— the importance of nutrition support

 A 96 year-old woman had poor wound healing after total hip replacement surgery. 

She accepted wound debridement and wet dressing for several months in the medical center.

Although the wound healed a lot, the opening of the wound remained and there was still discharge coming out everyday.

Under the high-resolution ultrasound examination, hypoechoic unhealed wound extending subcutaneously like a tunnel was seen.

In addition, the patient also had generalized pain symptom.

Because of these problems, the patient’s family brought her to the Purple-Sun Clinic for further treatment.

After discussing with Dean Chen, they decided to let her receive parenteral nutrition supplements in the clinic every 2-3 days. 


During the treatment, the wound healed better and better until it was completely healed with no exudate.

Ultrasound showed normal soft tissue texture replacing the tunnel-like hypoechoic subcutaneous wound.

The symptoms of general pain throughout the body that have been bothering for a long time have also been relieved.

Nutrition support plays an important role in medicine.


Dean Chen and the Purple-Sun Clinic not only specialize in rehabilitation, pain, and regeneration therapy, but also experience in internal medicine and cancer treatment.

In the elderly with chronic disease, cancer treatment, stroke, sequelae of severe infectious diseases, etc., adequate nutrition support is the key to good prognosis and tissue repair.

And due to the influence of age and disease, dietary intake often fails to achieve goals.

Therefore, parenteral nutrition is an excellent choice.


Purple-Sun Clinic Medical System was famous not only for its regular rehabilitation support but also excellent high-resolution ultrasound guided injection treatment technology.

Besides, the clinic also provides comprehensive rehabilitation, repair, and regenerative treatments like manual therapy, rehabilitation exercise teaching, ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy), parental nutritional supplements, ILIB (Intravenous Laser Irradiation of Blood), BTL high-intensity focused electromagnetic field therapy instrument SIS (Super Inductive System), Emsella HIFEM (High-Intensity Focus Electro Magnetic) Chair.


Such a variety of treatments is aimed to provide comprehensive treatment strategy for various patients with various diseases.

Achieving the best therapeutic effect is always the clinic’s goal and core value.
