Orioli L, Hammer F, Berg BV, et al. - In this study, the prevalence, characteristics, and the prognosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in a large group of patients with diabetic Charcot foot (CF) were ascertained. In this study, 56 patients with diabetic CF were compared with 116 patients with diabetic foot (DF) without CF. The data exhibited that in patients with diabetic CF particularly in those having DFUs or coronary artery disease, PAD should not be overlooked. In patients with CF, PAD differed from that of patients with DF since it predominated in distal arteries and required less often revascularization.
