Reports of waterskiing-related injuries are limited in the medical literature. The authors report a case of a unique waterskiing injury that progressed into a necrotizing foot infection in a well-controlled insulin-dependent diabetic. This case shows that with aggressive therapy, including hyperbaric oxygen treatments and use of a wound vacuum-assisted closure system, limbs can be saved.

Key Words: diabetic foot • wounds • fasciitis • necrotizing • hyperbaric oxygenation
