Description
Johan Schoug and co-authors check clot risk in a diabetic foot condition in a 2026 cohort study. Charcot foot breaks and dislocates foot bones when nerve damage dulls pain. Long rest in a total contact cast is the standard way to let it heal.
Whether the disease or the cast raises the risk of venous thromboembolism was unknown. Records from a Swedish university hospital covered hundreds of patients and episodes over years of follow-up. Clot events during and after casting were pulled from charts, and deaths from the national register. A firm risk number helps doctors decide if clot prevention drugs are worth their own dangers.
