In the article published in volume 2, 2011 of Diabetic Foot & Ankle ‘German-Austrian consensus on operative treatment of Charcot neuroarthropathy: a Perspective by the Charcot task force of the German Association for Foot Surgery’ (Citation: Diabetic Foot & Ankle 2011, 2: 10207 - DOI: 10.3402/dfa.v2i0.10207), two printing errors occurred. In the 4th subsection on page 1 two numbers are incorrect. The correct percentages are marked in bold:

The diabetic foot syndrome comprises three clinical subgroups: peripheral vascular disease (PVD) in 25%, PNP in 25%, and a combination of PVD and PNP in 50%. CN, where PNP is always present (although not always noticeable on clinical examination), has an estimated incidence of 7 per thousand per year among diabetics with PNP, as recently published by a major German health insurer on the basis of data collected in 2007. In the German situation, this translates to about 5,000 cases emerging every year (3). Stuck et al. (4) reported an annual incidence of 1.2 per thousand in a cohort of diabetics with increasing incidence of CN in the presence of PNP or obesity.
