Due to the long hours of sitting during the lockdown, he experienced foot pain in July 2020 and was unable to walk. The patient and his family panicked as his left leg turned black as he couldn’t get proper medical advice. He consulted a doctor from a local hospital who advised him amputation of the left leg as the condition had become life-threatening. He then approached Wockhardt hospital, Mira road in a bid to save his leg.
Dr. Girish L. Bhalerao, Super Specialty Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Wockhardt Hospital Mira Road said “On admission, the patient was in septic shock which is a serious condition that leads to the infection throughout the body and one’s blood pressure drops as well.

Initially, he was stabilized and the infection was controlled. Once that was done the skin necrosis was tackled by Dr. Shraddha Deshpande.

Dr. Shraddha Deshpande said “Post DVT, the skin of the leg was severely damaged and required extensive debridement. Immediate cover of such a large wound was necessary, hence a skin grafting procedure was performed for this patient. He also had necrotic skin patches in his thighs which were addressed later in stages. Due to his disease, his blood coagulation had to be monitored continuously to make sure there is no bleeding during this extensive surgery. Eventually, the patient has healed completely and can now walk pain-free.
“Leg pain snatched away my peace of mind over the years. But, during the lockdown, my condition worsened and my left leg turned black. I was embarrassed and would wear full pants so that the leg is not visible. It took a toll on my self-esteem as my left leg appeared discolored when compared to the right one. I thank doctors from Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road for helping me move freely again,” concluded patient Mr. Rane.
