Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 29-year-old trauma patient underwent operation of revascularization of the injured left popliteal artery and open reduction internal fixation for the left femoral fractures. Subsequently, the patient developed severe pain in the distal left lower extremity. A CT angiogram revealed patent three-vessels of his left lower extremity. However, an FDG PET/CT demonstrated absence of FDG uptake in the left foot, which suggested soft-tissue nonviability. An amputation was performed the following day. The pathologic examination showed wide-spread necrosis of the entire left foot with extensive dry gangrene, which confirmed FDG PET/CT findings. |
