Case Presentation:
A 58-year-old male presents with a non-healing plantar ulcer for 3 weeks. Despite the size, the patient reports zero pain—a classic sign of Symmetric Peripheral Neuropathy.

Key Data Points:
🔹 HbA1c: 8.9% (Uncontrolled)
🔹 Classification: Wagner Grade 2 (Deep ulcer to tendon/capsule)
🔹 Assessment: Palpable dorsalis pedis but weak posterior tibial pulse.

Management Protocol:
1️⃣ Sharp Debridement: Necessary to convert a chronic wound into an acute wound.
2️⃣ Total Offloading: Using specialized footwear to remove pressure from the ulcer site.
3️⃣ Glycemic Control: Healing is nearly impossible if blood sugar remains >200 mg/dL.

💡 Clinical Pearl: Always perform the "Probe-to-Bone" test. If you can touch bone with a sterile probe, the likelihood of Osteomyelitis is over 85%!
