<qa>  What is the name of the type of diabetic foot complications?The project concerns a type of very debilitating diabetic foot complications called Charcots osteoarthropathy COA. This disease is characterized by a rapidly progressing destruction of the load bearing joints, primarily in the feet, resulting in loss of structure and remodeling. Untreated this cascade leads to the collapse of the bones, meaning severe pain and walking disability for the patient. Reconstruction is often very difficult or impossible, and furthermore the collapse can lead to chronic foot ulcers and infections, which in the worst case can be fatal.
