Considerations in Charcot Reconstruction - 09/11/23
Résumé |
Charcot deformity is a challenging condition often leading to foot and ankle deformity that subsequently causes decreased function, ulceration, infection, and limb loss. There are various treatment measures to take into consideration when managing these patients. Treatment approaches range from conservative casting to surgical reconstruction. The authors believe that when faced with deformity, aggressive reconstruction to maintain a plantigrade foot and prevent loss of function is critical. Because of the nature of the Charcot condition, timing and fixation are often debated. This article discusses the authors’ approach to Charcot reconstruction in a large integrated health care system.
