Charcot Foot Disorder

Also known as Charcot Neuropathy. It is a acquired disorder that affects patients with any neurological disorder where there is profound loss of sensation to the feet and legs. Most commonly this affects certain patients with diabetes. In some cases this can be a devastating foot or ankle disorder that involves extensive fracturing and shifting of bones. Sudden swelling with foot deformity is a hallmark sign. It is commonly assumed these patients have little or no pain with the disorder, however, pain is often reported but not to the extent of patients with normal sensation.

Treatments for this complex disorder varies but at the Ankle & Foot Clinic our patients are comfortable knowing that our doctors stay abreast to the latest treatments. If there is limb threatening deformity salvage surgery is often necessary.
