17 days of a diabetic foot gangrene

17 days after
10 days
1st day





















You can see on the left upper corner of the picture of the diabetic foot gangrene 17 days after I first saw it. Compare it to the first day, you can see the viability of the foot. If I could have been in a hurry to cut it, this patient could have been an amputee all his life. The camera could not show how good the skin has become. This is just to show that there should be patience in the part of the surgeon. But the protocol followed by most surgeons could have amputated this foot.
