We need healthy feet to run, walk and support our body weight. This session will discuss the problems we face with our diabetics and the reasons why their feet are not healthy. What are the risks and the complications that our diabetic patients encounter? We’ll discuss infections, ulcers, poor circulation, amputation, improper footwear and underlying mechanical problems. We’ll touch on charcot and the cause of this problem. Finally, we’ll discuss the little bit of “Doctor” that exists in many of our patients when they decide to perform that “bathroom surgery” and the complications this can lead to.
