“…Additionally, the increased blood flow may directly cause increased bone resorption by increasing the delivery of osteoclasts and monocytes resulting in greater osteoclastic activity in this area [ 15 ]. This is consistent with the finding that patients with a Charcot foot show increased blood flow to the area whereas patients with peripheral arterial disease and diabetes are relatively protected from developing the arthropathy [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…Some studies reported positive correlations [ 53 55 ]. However, no association was found in other studies between DNOAP and a body mass index more than 25 kg/m 2 [ 7 , 16 ]. Stuck et al [ 54 ] concluded that weight loss could significantly reduce the risk of DNOAP, but might be most effective for patients with peripheral neuropathy.…”

“…17 A combination of diabetic foot ulcers and the need for surgery has previously been identified as the main predictor of developing DCF in the same population of people with diabetes at the UMMC. 18 This factor had also been observed to be a strong predictor of DCF complications independent of other factors in this study. The presence of ulcers with DCF was significantly associated with amputation risk, foot surgery, development of recurrent ulcers and reduction of ambulation capability.…”

“…Diabetic nephropathy is also associated with a higher incidence of CN [ 15 ]. Trigger factors of development of the CN can also be infections (osteomyelitis precedes CN) [ 16 ] and revascularization [ 17 ]. A necessary condition for the emergence of CN is the presence of peripheral neuropathy, in particular, diabetic distal sensitive polyneuropathy.…”
