| description | Calcaneal osteomyelitis is a condition that presents a particular challenge to the foot and ankle surgeon with respect to viable options for limb preservation. Limb salvage coupled with functionality is of paramount importance to active, diabetic patients in the face of a more proximal amputation such as a (Pirogoff, Symes, below-the-knee, above-the-knee). We present the case of a 49-year-old diabetic male who ambulates on his preserved left hindfoot following the treatment of his infected and fractured calcaneus. |
