So need to know some more detailed history, it looks like the history that your giving is that wound has got infected so some things would be needed
Next Steps
1) adequate glycemic control
2) Will need physical examination of wound
3) xray to rule out osteomyelitis and wet gangrene picture
4) will need surgical management

It is difficult to answer it without proper history, examination and patient's condition. We don't know the condition of ulcer, what surgery is planned. Since your father is also having CKD, we need kidney function test before contrast CT.
To know all of these things one on one session is needed.
