Abstract
A 55 year old male type 2 diabetic (NIDDM) was referred to the surgical admissions unit unwell with signs of sepsis and a painful right foot. There was no history of trauma but symptoms of claudication were evident on direct questioning. Over the last 2 weeks he had struggled to mobilise on his painful foot and had been housebound as a result, being cared for by his wife. Overnight he developed increasing pain and partial numbness in his foot at rest.
