Comparing two casts for Charcot foot healing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to take weight off a Charcot foot (a diabetic foot complication) — a special contact cast versus a removable back slab. The goal is to see which method helps your foot heal better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your doctor has told you that you have an active Charcot foot (a condition where the bones in your foot weaken and change shape).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have an open sore or ulcer on your foot right now.
