PodiatryDiabetic footPlaintiff-side

Built for diabetic foot + Charcot + ankle cases.
AI deposition trainer with APMA + IWGDF depth.

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.

Why a podiatry-specific trainer matters

Podiatry cases turn on documented IWGDF staging of diabetic foot ulcers, Charcot in the differential for hot diabetic foot, and appropriate post-op infection management.

The 6 failure modes

Sev 10

Diabetic foot ulcer — amputation

DFU not staged per IWGDF; no offloading or vascular assessment.

"She didn't come back for follow-up."
Sev 9

Charcot arthropathy — missed

Hot swollen foot in diabetic diagnosed as cellulitis; no offloading.

"It didn't respond to antibiotics."
Sev 9

Post-op infection in diabetic — recognition delay

Post-op infection; antibiotics delayed; osteomyelitis or amputation.

"I figured it was healing."
Sev 8

Achilles repair failure

Re-rupture without documented post-op protocol or NWB compliance.

"I told her to be careful."
Sev 8

Ankle / foot nerve injury

Sural / deep peroneal / plantar nerve injury without documented dissection plane.

"I don't always document specifically."
Sev 8

Office anesthesia — monitoring gap

Office IV sedation without capnography per ASA.

"I was monitoring clinically."

The signature impeachment trap

"I treated her for cellulitis" vs documented Charcot consideration

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.

"You treated her for cellulitis?" → "Yes."
"IWGDF standards call for Charcot in the differential for every diabetic with hot swollen foot?" → "Yes."
"Your chart does not document Charcot in the differential."

Why this lands: witness has framed empiric infection treatment as adequate without considering Charcot.
