I have just been referred a patient who has ulceration of both 1st mtpj/hallux amputation sites. The wounds are quite large and have been open for more than 2 years now, they are both quite clean and have good granulating bases, although the right wound leaks huge amounts of clear fluid, no one seems worried about this except me. The local GP also seems happy to allow this patient to walk around with 2 big holes in his feet for another 2 years!!
I am wanting to off load these areas, but work in a little pod clinic for public health, I don't have any facilities to cast and have little experience.
I was just wondering if anyone has used the Darco boots which off load the forefoot?? as I may be able to get some funding to buy some. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
The lonely one!!!
