A University of Iowa study has identified a method for inhibiting the occurrence of an aggressive form of arthritis that frequently develops following a severe traumatic injury.

These types of fractures in a load-bearing joint can lead to arthritis as quickly as two years after injury.

Podiatry Management
Ten years is a relatively
short time frame, but
many things have changed
significantly in the past
decade. Today, we’re
more connected than ever through
our phones, email and social media.
