Abstract
Current literature on the treatment of patients with neuropathic ulcers generally does not fully consider pedorthic treatment. To evaluate pedorthic treatment of patients with neuropathic ulcers, an ongoing treatment and tracking program was developed. This program consisted of regularly scheduled visits, footwear inspections, and orthosis replacement, repair, or adjustment. Our intent is not to suggest that therapeutic footwear be used as a primary treatment to close foot ulcers, but to highlight the place of education, proper shoes, and orthosis in the healing process.
