Necrotizing fasciitis must be considered in a diabetic with cutaneous ulceration. A case report of limb salvage in a 48-year-old diabetic female with progressive necrotizing fasciitis is presented. Methods of early diagnosis including clinical signs, radiographs, and soft tissue biopsy of the involved extremity are reviewed. The microbiology of the disease is also discussed. A modification of the Orr technique using infrequent dressing changes in the management of necrotizing fasciitis is presented. In our case this resulted in preservation of life and a functional limb.

Diabetic Charcot foot is characterized by varying degrees of bone and joint disorganization secondary to underlying neuropathy, perturbations of bone metabolism and trauma. Offloading is the most important initial treatment recommendation. Surgery can be helpful in early stages involving acute fractures of the foot or ankle or in later stages when offloading is ineffective. Incorrect diagnosis and improper treatment often result in the extremity having to be amputated.     There are several surgical procedures accepted in Charcot foot surgery. Their goal is to obtain a plantigrade foot and prevent recurrent ulcerations. Arthrodesis is a well-known surgical procedure that addresses severe joint derangement through a surgically induced bony fusion. In Charcot foot, arthrodesis is usually indicated when there is significant skeletal instability. This procedure can be done by internal or external fixation.
