Introduction: Tumoral calcinosis is a rare hereditary condition characterized by the deposition of calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite in periarticular soft tissues. First described by Giard and Duret in 1898 and later detailed by Inclan in 1943, this condition has often been confused with other forms of periarticular calcification. Tumoral calcinosis predominantly affects young males and is typically found around major joints, such as the shoulder, elbow, hip, ankle, and wrist.

Introduction And Importance: Diabetic foot ulcers, especially when complicated by cellulitis, pose a significant challenge in diabetes management, often leading to amputation. This case report highlights the successful treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer in an amputation candidate using a combination of negative pressure wound therapy and platelet-rich plasma injection, potentially reducing the risk of amputation in high-risk patients.
Case Presentation: A 62-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes presented with a chronic diabetic foot ulcer and cellulitis.

Improper socket fitting in lower-limb prostheses can lead to significant complications, including pain, skin lesions, and pressure ulcers. Current suspension and socket design practices rely predominantly on visual inspection of the residual limb and patient feedback. Monitoring stress distribution at the residual limb/socket interface offers a more objective approach.

Background: Major limb amputation can place a significant financial burden on patients and their families because of costs of care and loss of income, encapsulated by the concept of financial toxicity. We sought to measure and understand factors associated with financial toxicity among patients undergoing major lower limb amputation for diabetic foot ulcers or peripheral arterial disease.
Methods: We identified patients in an institutional database who received lower limb amputations and excluded patients who underwent amputation due to known trauma or cancer.
