The Home Study 2011 program highlights the risk management issue of lower extremity infections. Failure to identify, properly treat, and refer patients to a specialist are frequent allegations faced by podiatrists nationwide.

Realizing that there is no "universal" treatment for foot infections can improve the quality of podiatric care you provide your patients.
