He stubbed his right toe 1 year ago and did not notice the tissue death. After seeing the doctor 6 months after the stub the doctor attempted to conserve his limb with conservative treatment. Unfortunately the wound became necrotic and Hubert sustained a Right BKA. Prior to the initial stub Hubert was independent with all activities, working, driving, and loves playing cards with his friends. Since the stub Hubert has walked with a surgical shoe and a cane. He has not been limited in completion of any of his ADLs from the wound but required extra time due to pain and discomfort. Huberts surgery was successful without complications.
