Wet gangrene of the right foot

This picture shows a patient with vascular compromise (occluded anterior tibial artery) and infection of the dorsum of the foot. Note the exposed tendons and deep fascia with liquefied subcutaneous tissue, which indicates an active soft tissue infection. Compared with the left foot, the right foot is darker in color and is edematous. The patient underwent multiple excisional debridements but ultimately required a midfoot amputation.
