Scots dad has leg amputated after fall down stairs led to deadly sepsis
02.07.2022 - 07:23 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots dad has had his leg amputated after a fall down the stairs at home led to deadly sepsis. Chris Masterson, from Forth, South Lanarkshire, was getting ready for work on Dec 5, 2020, when he tripped on his pyjama bottoms and tumbled down some steps.
The 43-year-old suffered a broken leg and a dislocated ankle and was admitted to Wishaw General Hospital. Two weeks later, he underwent surgery to insert metal pins and plates in his limb to treat the break.
But four months on, in April 2021, Chris's leg became infected, signalling the start of a series of issues which led to the dad-of-two's 'life changing forever'.
Former car salesman Chris told the Daily Record: "When I had the accident I told my wife that I'd just see her in a few hours. I thought I'd be in and out quickly, but how wrong I was.
"I've had infection after infection. Just as I thought my leg was healing and I was getting better, I'd be hit again, with another infection."
Chris had his leg operated on for a second time to remove the pins and plates, but in September 2021 after another infection, an MRI found that a piece of nylon string used during surgery had been left inside his leg. Chris was transferred to Glasgow Royal Infirmary to have the string removed from his wound.
Chris suffered recurring infections for a further six months and had seven more operations on his leg. After a bout of deadly sepsis, he took the difficult decision to opt for below-knee amputation on June 10 this year.

He said: "Everyone knows that sepsis is a killer so when I was asked about getting my leg amputated I decided to go ahead with it as I didn't want to risk getting sepsis
