Podiatry medmal cases concentrate around diabetic foot ulcer progression to amputation, missed Charcot arthropathy, post-op infection in diabetics, Achilles repair failures, and nerve injuries during foot/ankle surgery. APMA + IWGDF (International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot) define the floors.
Try the 2-min Podiatry demo → All specialtiesPodiatry cases turn on documented IWGDF staging of diabetic foot ulcers, Charcot in the differential for hot diabetic foot, and appropriate post-op infection management.
DFU not staged per IWGDF; no offloading or vascular assessment.
Hot swollen foot in diabetic diagnosed as cellulitis; no offloading.
Post-op infection; antibiotics delayed; osteomyelitis or amputation.
Re-rupture without documented post-op protocol or NWB compliance.
Sural / deep peroneal / plantar nerve injury without documented dissection plane.
Office IV sedation without capnography per ASA.
For Charcot-missed cases: lock the witness into "I treated her for cellulitis," then juxtapose against IWGDF standards requiring Charcot in the differential for any diabetic with hot foot.
Why this lands: witness has framed empiric infection treatment as adequate without considering Charcot.
Podiatry cases turn on documented IWGDF DFU staging + Charcot in the differential. IWGDF + APMA are real published floors.
