Charcot Foot Dislocation Gradual Reduction with External Fixation Followed by Staged Arthrodesis
摘要
Goals of diabetic Charcot foot and ankle care include achieving a plantigrade foot that can be fitted with a shoe or brace to prevent ulceration, to avoid infection and to optimize systemic illness, including diabetic control. We present a case of acute on chronic worsening charcot foot deformity with impending skin breakdown, where accommodative bracing was not an option, and prompt surgical intervention will prevent chronic ulceration.
