RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
Peripheral Obstructive Arterial Disease (PAD) is the obstruction of the peripheral arteries caused by atherosclerosis. Intermittent claudication is the main manifestation, in more advanced stages there may be ischemia and chronic wounds.
PAD is a relevant public health condition due to its high prevalence and impact on patients' quality of life, as well as the risk of disease progression, which can result in limb amputations due to infections and deep ulcerations, associated with serious systemic complications.
The aim of this study is to report a case of treatment with the Figueiredo Technique (FT) of a chronic left ankle injury due to Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease, associated with osteomyelitis of the fibula, in an elderly patient.
