Conservative care, total contact casts and footwear are discussed, as well as the management of infections and osteomyelitis.

Written and edited by recognized leaders in the field, this is a must-have for orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists treating diabetic patients and will be an excellent resource for treating these debilitating afflictions. |
