I treat about 400 cases of diabetic foot ulcers here every year, of which the more serious ulcers generally require hospitalization, and among these cases, there are many patients who are on the verge of amputation. Now, through a case (a set of pictures) below, I hope to enable diabetic foot patients to build up confidence and courage to overcome the disease! The patient was 61 years old and did not want to be disabled, so he came to our office for treatment: the whole dorsum of the foot was ulcerated, the tendons were exposed, the odor was bad, and the pain was unbearable. Figure 2: September 19, 2011: The patient was treated in our clinic for 10 days, firstly, the initial debridement and anti-inflammatory treatment were carried out to reduce the infection, meanwhile, the vascular examination was carried out as soon as possible, and it was found that the artery from the thigh to the calf of the affected limb was severely blocked. Pain medication was no longer needed and the patient’s appetite and mood improved. Figure 3: On October 14, 2011, the patient was hospitalized for 5 weeks, during which he mainly took oral Chinese medicine, insulin to control blood sugar, and used special Chinese medicine gauze to change the medicine externally, and maintained the smoothness of blood vessels through infusion. Figure 4: On November 10, 2011, the wound was mostly healed, while the patient was able to move around indoors normally, and was discharged from the hospital for self-medication change and continued to take oral Chinese medicine. The patient called me before the Spring Festival and said that the wound was fully healed and that he was going out for New Year visits accompanied by his family. Inpatient treatment means: sugar reduction, infection control, debridement, opening of blood vessels, external treatment with Chinese herbs, etc. Hospitalization period: 62 days. Total cost: about 76,000 yuan. Treatment effect: satisfactory. This case illustrates that even severe diabetic foot ulcers do not necessarily require amputation if treated properly and cared for carefully, but of course, the earlier the treatment is on the right path, the better the chance of a good outcome and lower costs. We hope that the patients will keep this in mind. Also, the healing of the wound does not mean the end of treatment, but requires long-term unremitting care and observation to avoid recurrence.
