QuestionI am doing a report and have been trying to get statistics on how many persons in the US and world end up in a foot cast in a year. I need references too. I have checked AAOS and census bureau, etc. everywhere I can think of and can not find the information that I need.
Do you have the answers that I need or know where to ask?

Dear Debra,
If I knew the numbers regarding foot casts-I would offer!
Try www.freemedicaljournals.com or pubmed.com
Your best bet is JAPMA (Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)- but that requires a subscription.
Hope This Helps!
