Increasing Cumulative Cases and Surgical Incidence of Charcot Neuroarthropathy in the United States From 2009 to 2019
Current epidemiological trends for CN are not well known. This study demonstrated an increasing case burden of CN within the United States, alongside increasing incidences of surgical procedures for this disease. These trends provide important insights for patient-specific and public health advocacy. Future studies should continue to explore the contributory financial, cultural, and educatory factors of this disease.<b>Levels of Evidence:</b> III Retrospective cohort study.
