title: Treatment of painful scars on soles and digits with injections of fluid silicone.
abstract: Between 1964 and 1975, 389 patients were treated with injections of fluid silicone for corns, calluses, healed diabetic ulcers, and painful scars. This paper presents the results achieved in 27 patients with 31 plantar and 3 digital scars treated by injections of silicone to induce protective subdermal cushioning at sites of increased pressure.
