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.
