Diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy, often mistaken for infections, requires early diagnosis in patients with peripheral neuropathy. This review discusses its causes and a recent trial investigating bisphosphonates for treatment.

Area of Science:

Diabetology
Neurology
Orthopedics

Background:

Charcot neuroarthropathy is a serious complication in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy.
It is frequently misdiagnosed as cellulitis or osteomyelitis, leading to delayed treatment.
Early recognition and intervention are crucial for managing this debilitating condition.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the pathogeneses of diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy.
To summarize recent research on its etiopathogenetic factors.
To report on a multicenter trial using bisphosphonates for treatment.

Main Methods:

Literature review of pathogeneses and recent studies.
Description of a completed multicenter trial.

Main Results:

The article covers the underlying mechanisms of Charcot neuroarthropathy.
Recent studies have shed light on its etiopathogenetic factors.
A multicenter trial on bisphosphonate use in this condition has been completed.

Conclusions:

A high index of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis of diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy.
Understanding the pathogeneses aids in early and appropriate treatment.
Bisphosphonates represent a potential therapeutic option being investigated.
