Sumario:Diabetic foot is a serious complication in patients with diabetes. It is caused by diabetes combined with lower extremity vascular lesions and neuropathy so that a wound does not heal for a long time. In severe cases, it may lead to bone marrow infection and bone destruction, with a high disability and fatality rate. This report describes the case of a patient with diabetic hallux gangrene with lower extremity vascular disease, which was treated by surgical debridement, ozone therapy, and vascular interventional surgery. Using this treatment, the diabetic foot can be cured better and faster, and a satisfactory effect can be achieved.
