Exploring Australian High-Risk Foot Podiatrists' Understanding of Recurrent and Contralateral Charcot Neuroarthropathy in Individuals With Diabetes Mellitus: A Qualitative Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) can result in severe destruction of the foot and the ankle. Additional episodes of acute CN in the same or contralateral foot cause additional burden. This study aimed to explore Australian high‐risk foot podiatrists' understanding of recurrent and contralateral CN in individuals with diabetes ...
