Exploring the role of biomechanics in Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy and midfoot deformity Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy can lead to severe midfoot deformity, ulceration and amputation in people with diabetes. This PhD project investigates how structural deformity and altered biomechanics contribute to plantar tissue stress and ulceration risk, with the aim of improving understanding of long term complications in Charcot foot.
