Abstract

CASE: A 50-year-old female experienced a crush injury to the foot resulting in open degloving of her heel pad. This study details a surgical strategy to achieve healing and limb salvage. CONCLUSION: Heel pad injuries with degloving are difficult to salvage and have a poor prognosis. Amputation is often the only therapeutic option, unless part of the blood supply to the heel pad is intact, rendering limb salvage a possibility.
