A Case of Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia with Heel Ulcers Cured by Revascularization and Partial Calcanectomy

Ischemic limbs with infected heel ulcers are often difficult to salvage. We present a case of an 82-year-old woman who had bilateral heel ulcers owing to chronic limb-threatening ischemia. She underwent right femoral-terminal posterior tibial artery bypass surgery, but right calcaneus osteomyelitis...

description Ischemic limbs with infected heel ulcers are often difficult to salvage. We present a case of an 82-year-old woman who had bilateral heel ulcers owing to chronic limb-threatening ischemia. She underwent right femoral-terminal posterior tibial artery bypass surgery, but right calcaneus osteomyelitis occurred and inhibited wound healing. She underwent partial calcanectomy (PC), and her right heel healed six months after the bypass surgery. The ulcer on her left foot also healed after distal bypass and PC. We describe our experience with a patient who needed PC to cure her heel ulcers.
