Due to diabetes my father had a wound on the lower side of his foot. As per the X-ray report, some of the joints in his left foot are affected, but the wound has completely healed, and there is proper blood flow in all veins as per the color Doppler test. Should we proceed with his treatment for the toes removal according to what an diabetic and orthopedic doctor stated? The patient is able to walk.
Patient presents with no hypertension or heart disease, weighing 78kg and measuring 5ft in height. Family history includes the unfortunate demise of an elder brother due to similar diabetic complications, and the patient's mother was also diagnosed with diabetes. There are no specific allergies reported. The patient has been managing diabetes since 2004, spanning nearly 20 years. The left foot was affected in 2021, leading to multiple surgeries since then. Currently, the patient is using antibiotics such as Linezolid to prevent the spread of pus.
He is 60 years old from Pakistan.
