Patient Experiences: Healing After Toe Amputation with Dr. Basu!
Mrs. Gouri Somani from Jhargram shares her inspiring recovery journey after a traumatic toe amputation. Initially treated at a local facility, her condition worsened due to persistent pain and a non-healing wound.
She sought advanced care from Dr. Sabyasachi Basu, trauma and orthopedic specialist at RN Tagore Hospital, under Narayana Health. After assessment, Dr. Basu recommended secondary surgery—but only after stabilizing her uncontrolled diabetes and other comorbidities.
Case Highlights:
✅Great toe amputated after initial injury
✅Local care failed; wound worsened with pain and infection
✅Dr. Basu performed secondary surgery post medical stabilization
✅Patient has now recovered and is stable
Key Takeaways:
✅Improper handling of the amputated toe reduced chances of reattachment
✅Importance of clean wrapping and cold storage of amputated parts
✅Need for early trauma care and management of chronic conditions like diabetes
This case emphasizes the importance of trauma preparedness, wound care, and limb preservation awareness.
