Mission ‘Possible’: Saving A Limb

A pressure injury is a localized damage to the skin and/or underlying soft tissue, usually over a bony prominence. A pressure injury has a significant impact on the patient’s quality life, especially the associated complications, such as unrolled infection, compromised local circulation, etc. This case report details attempts to prevent amputation of the right limb in a mid-50s male patient who had previously undergone an above-knee amputation initiated by a pressure injury on his left plantar heel.
