Complete Degloving of Foot
Patient is a 34 year old male who was brought into the trauma bay after this extensive and complete degloving injury. Patient was working at the airport when the signal was given for a Boeing 737 to move, unfortunately the patient was still underneath the plane as it rolled over his foot. For this patient specifically, a below knee amputation was offered as it would provide the best functional outcome with a recovery period as little as 4-8 weeks. However, patient was adamant about keeping his leg, understanding fully that at any point in the reconstruction it can turn gangrenous and become life threatening. Ultimately half of the foot was salvaged as soft tissue coverage and vascular supply to each of the toes, was not feasible. Today the patient ambulates with a shoe filler and minimal discomfort.  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Complete Degloving of Foot
I'd rather amputate and have a semblance of normalcy.

Re: Complete Degloving of Foot
But isn't it better than having a prosthesis? I mean, all you need is a specially fitted shoe and you can walk like a normal person, right?

Re: Complete Degloving of Foot
Having a brioche bun for a foot is a bold choice.

Re: Complete Degloving of Foot
That's probably the only pair of shoes he'll ever have. I don't think it's better, personally. |

Re: Complete Degloving of Foot
I've worked on aircraft ranging in size from F-16's to B-52's. For a person as part of a ground maintenance/servicing crew to be so caught off-guard by an aircraft moving means they have the situational awareness and reaction time of a hibernating bear.

Did you see the woman get sucked into the jet engine in Birmingham a few months ago?

Re: Complete Degloving of Foot
Fixed it for ya. Yeah. I remember the vid. Still waiting to read the NTSB final on that. You come across it yet? |
