Custom shoes can be very expensive, take weeks, if not months, to be made and – let’s face it – are not always aesthetically pleasing to our patients. Relasting – widening a commercially available shoe to customize it – is a useful and practical alternative. The modification can be made to accommodate any number of foot deformities but is most frequently used to accommodate the Charcot foot. In this live lab demonstration, you will learn how to perform relast modifications and incorporate them into your patient care toolbox.
This course is worth 1.75 scientific credits. If you attended this session at the 2025 National Assembly, please note you will not receive credit again.
