This 37 y.o. black male suffered a crush injury at work when a heavy object fell on his foot. The distal phalanx of the hallux was fractured and the 2nd and 3rd toes were amputated. Three months of whirlpool treatment by another facility produced no healing. Dr. Fishman treated this patient with aggressive debridement, electrical stimulation, appropriate product selection and nutritional support. Call Dr. Fishman for more specifics at (305) 919-9192.
