Photograph of the right foot of a 74-year-old diabetic man shows a DFU at the lateral side of the surface of the foot with wet gangrene and gas accumulation at the soft tissue. He was treated with multiple surgical debridements, intravenous antibiotics and blood glucose control; however, because of PAD he ended up with a below-knee amputation.
