The inner Chopart

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Diabetic Foot Care

Background:

  • Neuropathic osteoarthropathy often leads to severe foot infections.
  • Traditional hindfoot amputation may be necessary for limb salvage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the Link and Witzel inner Chopart's amputation.
  • To determine if this procedure is a viable alternative to hindfoot amputation for complex cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of six patients with neuropathic osteoarthropathy and osteomyelitis.
  • Average follow-up of 55 weeks.

Main Results:

  • No recurrence of ulceration or infection in any patient.
  • No further proximal amputations were required.

  • Five patients were fitted with custom orthopedic shoes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Inner Chopart's amputation is a successful foot-sparing alternative for select cases.
    • This procedure can prevent major amputations in diabetic patients with severe foot complications.
