The duration of immobilization in Group 1 with osteomyelitis outside the Charcot region (mean 83.1 ± 70.5, range 19 to 304 days) and in Group 2 with osteomyelitis inside the Charcot region (mean 144 ± 91.8, range 17 to 389 days, p = 0.01) differed significantly (p = 0.01). The duration of immobilization was similar for the different initial surgical treatments within each group. Asterisk = significant difference
