Podiatry
It is not uncommon for podiatric doctors to develop further expertise into full scope care and preservation of patients with diabetic foot, and can also perform partial amputations of the foot. Podiatry also includes the partial foot amputation as far as proximal with Chopart’s joint in an effort to prevent an even greater loss of the limb, or in severe cases, to prevent a full amputation or even life.
Podiatrists are unique in that they are only qualified to medically treat diseases related to the foot and ankle and are commonly found in professions such as sports medicine, dermatology, pediatrics, and diabetes, all of which involve a vast variety of treatments regarding foot care.
