One of the leading causes of impaired chronic wound healing is diabetes mellitus because it involves many factors that influence the physiopathology of tissue healing. Therefore, it is strategic to analyse clinical cases of this population. We presented a clinical case report of a 51-year-old female with type 2 diabetes mellitus, presenting a non-healing sternal wound after open heart surgery. Appropriate dressing and assessment contributed to the healing of the sternal wound in 5 weeks.

Abstract
One of the leading causes of impaired chronic wound healing is diabetes mellitus because it involves many factors that influence the physiopathology of tissue healing. Therefore, it is strategic to analyse clinical cases of this population. We presented a clinical case report of a 51-year-old female with type 2 diabetes mellitus, presenting a non-healing sternal wound after open heart surgery. Appropriate dressing and assessment contributed to the healing of the sternal wound in 5 weeks.
