This patient had an open wound on the sole of his foot. Wounds in this area carry the whole body's weight, so they need careful treatment and close follow-up to heal well.
The wound was cleaned and treated, and he was seen regularly so that healing and comfort could be checked at each visit.
At his follow-up he walked around the clinic room and the treated area was examined again. Every patient is different; results vary.
