Charcot Foot Reconstruction

What is Charcot Foot?

Charcot foot is an advanced complication of diabetes in which nerve damage and loss of sensation in the feet lead to weakened bones and joints, resulting in deformities and fractures in the bones of the foot.

Symptoms

• Foot deformities
• Foot pain
• Redness and swelling in the feet
• Foot ulcers
• Difficulty walking

Treatment

Treatment of Charcot foot depends on the severity of the condition. Available treatments include:

• Conservative management: Includes controlling blood glucose levels, offloading the foot, and using customised footwear.
• Surgery: May be necessary in severe cases to reconstruct damaged bones or correct deformities.
