- Abstract
This is a case report of a multimorbid 47-year-old male with calcareous deposits in his diabetic foot - a rare condition with major consequences. Within a few years after his forefoot amputation, heterotopic ossifications were seen, and clinically, foot deformity occurred. A wound difficult to heal appeared after an abscess, and an MRI showed unusual calcareous deposits. It is important to consider, if health workers have sufficient focus on neuropathy, and that too little focus on this complication may have consequences to the patient in terms of gait function and power of locomotion.
