Necrotizing soft tissue processes of the foot secondary to an acute stingray envenomation can be a challenge to manage. Very little is reported in the orthopaedic literature to aid the practicing surgeon faced with this problem. In this case report, we describe the wound management and team approach employed in this patient's care, including the indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which, in this case, was ultimately successful.
