PY - 2019 T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - A 60-year-old woman with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and tobacco use presented with a 2-month history of a nonhealing ulceration on her left foot (Figure 219-1). She believes this started as a callus that peeled off. She presented with the ulcer, loss of protective sensation, and a nonpalpable posterior tibial pulse. She began treatment in a wound care center without any success. Noninvasive arterial studies showed severe vascular disease and thus, she underwent revascularization. While in the hospital, she quit smoking and gained control of her diabetes. Her ulcer healed, and she continues to take her diabetes medications and no longer smokes.
