Danish researchers have determined the incidence and prevalence of the rare but serious diabetes complication, Charcot foot, in a nationwide study.
In the analysis of nearly 310,000 people with type 1, type 2 or other diabetes who had contact with a hospital between 1995 and 2008, they found 1722 also had a diagnosis of Charcot foot.
