  • Title: Surgical treatment of the Charcot foot.
    Author: Pinzur MS.
    Journal: Diabetes Metab Res Rev; 2016 Jan; 32 Suppl 1():287-91. PubMed ID: 26813619.
    Abstract:
    With the increased number of diabetics worldwide and the increased incidence of morbid obesity in more prosperous cultures, there has become an increased awareness of Charcot arthropathy of the foot and ankle. Outcome studies would suggest that patients with deformity associated with Charcot Foot arthropathy have impaired health related quality of life. This awareness has led reconstructive-minded foot and ankle surgeons to develop surgical strategies to treat these acquired deformities. This article outlines the current clinical approach to this disabling medical condition.
