Among the most important complications of Diabetes Mellitus is the diabetic foot. Currently, wound treatment is based on surgical debridement and serial dressings.
However, controlling the evolution of ulcerations is difficult due to the patient's systemic conditions, recurrent infections in the lesions and the association with osteomyelitis and deep soft tissue infection, often requiring hospitalization for surgery and intravenous antibiotic therapy.
The aim of this study is to report a case of surgical treatment with the Figueiredo Technique (FT) of bilateral chronic wounds on the calcaneus, associated with osteomyelitis and infection of the left calcaneal tendon, in a diabetic patient.
