I was born with Spina Bifida. Because of this my lower extremities did not develop properly. My hips were out of socket, my knees didn’t bend and my feet and ankles were under developed. As a child, I wore full length metal and leather braces. It was at this time that I developed my first pressure sore when they forgot to cover a revit in the bottom of my shoe. I am now 52 and have struggled off and on with ulcers on this foot in the same area since. Sometimes staying closed as long as 10 years before rearing it’s ugly head again. As a teenager I had many debridements, muscle grafts, skin grafts etc before it finally closed. I spent countless weeks in the hospital and had many infections including some scary bouts of MRSA. With some callus maintenance I was able to keep it healthy for several years. However this last time around was pretty bad. Despite surgery, would care and complete non weight bearing.it would not heal. I received several second opinions of which no one wanted to help. Or they wanted to amputate. Until I was referred to Dr. Singh. He was able to recognize that the infection in the bone had not been cured and had some ideas for reconstruction so that the affected area would get better blood supply. He removed infected bone and moved tissue and the blood supply to both give moree padding and better blood supply help healing. He also put a stabilizer on to protect during the healing process. It has been a year since the first surgery with him. With an orthotic I have been able to do some weight bearing. Dr. Singh continues to follow up with me monthly. If it wasn’t for him, it is a very real possibility that I would be an amputee by now. He took a chance and it has been life changing. Maybe even life saving. Also, he is a nice person who is not condescending and is interested in the person as a whole. He didn’t make any promises but was willing to try. Bedside manners matter and he has them.
