Uncontrolled #diabetes

This history on this case is that the patient presented with an injury and was told not to use that foot or to put weight on it. He is a patient with uncontrolled diabetes. He did not listen to the doctor and continued to used the injured foot. It never healed properly and his ankle just literally exploded open as seen in the first photo. He then had to have the foot amputated as seen in the second photo. This guy is in trouble. If you look around the site where his foot was cut off you can see it kinda looks nasty along the one edge on the left. It's a little brownish greenish. That is an area of dead tissue. That means he will require further surgeries. The damage to his blood vessels from his diabetes is so bad it is not allowing oxygen rich blood to get to the wound to allow proper healing. This is why diabetes is no joke.
