Success Story

From Amputation Risk to Healing — A Limb Saved

A patient travelled to our clinic from Somalia after being advised that he might require amputation due to a severe diabetic foot ulcer. The wound was advanced, with high risk of infection and poor healing.

​

On presentation, we performed a comprehensive assessment including:

  • Evaluation for Diabetic Neuropathy to determine loss of protective sensation

  • Vascular assessment for Peripheral Arterial Disease to evaluate blood supply to the foot

  • Infection severity assessment and wound staging

​

Based on these findings, we initiated a targeted, limb-salvage treatment plan:

  • Culture-directed antibiotic therapy to control infection

  • Advanced wound care with specialised dressings and debridement

  • Offloading strategies to reduce pressure on the affected area

  • Close monitoring and serial reassessment

Over time, the wound showed progressive healing, avoiding the need for amputation. The patient was able to recover function and return to daily activities.

​

This case highlights the importance of early specialist intervention, structured assessment, and multidisciplinary care in managing complex diabetic foot wounds.
