what is the best treatment for athletes foot?

Question 6

treatment  of  charchot foot

Accepted Answer

Stay off the foot: Would be most important. Do not walk on an active charcot foot. Some docs believe in giving bisphosphanate therapy though there is no conclusive evidence it is effective. Some docs believe in using circular frames, the most important thing is to actually make an early diagnosis and then stay off of it. This is what has been successful in my practice. Oftentimes, that could be many months.
