Diabetische Füße und ihre Schuhversorgung

For the diabetic, the wrong shoes can result in serious health consequences culminating in the amputation of the foot. In Germany alone nearly 25000 foot amputations are required each year as a result of this disease. Professor Chantelau, together with a team of experienced medical specialists, draws on 20 years of experience with patients, insurance companies, and the orthopedic shoe industry to put together this scientific reader which offers practical solutions to prevent amputations. Unique in its timeliness and specialized scope, this work provides a scientific perspective on the diagnostics and therapy of diabetic podiatry.
