Vilá Arroyo In our CEU article for this edition, Dr. McGuire, Milad and Gilberto introduce us to the lymphatic system, previously a poorly understood system for returning fluid and other materials back to the more well-known circulatory systems. This is important to help the body rid itself of infection, and to transport cellular waste. A solid understanding of this system gives the pedorthist insight into the underlying causes of lymphedema, a common issue in our daily practice.
