Partial foot degloving from a train collision.

Partial foot degloving from a train collision.

Case of a 35 year old male sustaining partial foot degloving from a train collision. ⚠️ The patient tried to commit suicide by lying on a train track, but luckily the train pushed him off the track, fracturing his femur and causing a deep laceration of his heel. After initial vitals assessment, fluid resuscitation and c-spine fixation, the patient was brought to the OR for plantar repair. Debridement of the injured area was done under local anaesthesia after which tissues and fat pads were approximated and repaired. The wound was closed with skin sutures. Credit: @medicalpedia .
