    Thank you all.
    I can email you all directly or ask for your answers on this forum.
    I am surveying podiatrists on the step by step process of weaning a person with charcot out of their TCC to shoe. eg wear shoe 1 hour a day for how long? or 1/2 day then back to cast but for how long?

    Also I am interested in the system that USA has to treat charcot feet. Is it individual practitioners , hospital settings???
    In Australia it is treated through the hospital system.
    regards Marhar
