  • Title: The Use of Hexapod External Fixation in the Management of Charcot Foot and Ankle Deformities.
    Author: LaPorta GA, Begum M, Guzelak S, D'Andelet A.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2022 Oct; 39(4):629-642. PubMed ID: 36180193.
    Abstract:
    Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) and its sequela is a disabling pathology in the foot and ankle. The 2-stage computer hexapod-assisted technique is an effective tool to address midfoot Charcot and ankle-hindfoot deformities to restore function and decrease the risk of amputation secondary to ulceration and infection. Although this is not the only technique available, it is an excellent option in cases with significant angular deformity or subluxation, need to reduce shortening of the foot, and in the presence of soft tissue defects, with or without concurrent soft tissue or bone infection.
