Hello List. I'm looking for suggestions for socks to be worn with AFO's for patients who have charcot feet.
To promote plantar midfoot wound healing patients are put into total contact casts that are changed every two weeks. These have been effective at promoting ulcer healing. Sometimes, going into AFO's with custom footbeds or even CROW's causes the wounds to open. My colleague and I were wondering if the felt used in the total contact cast helps wick away moisture from the ulcer area. Does anyone know of AFO socks that have felt or good wicking properties and that we would advise the patient to change periodically so their skin remains dry?
Thanks.
Rajiv
