Abstract:
The historic management of Charcot foot arthropathy has consisted of immobilization until the active phase of the disease resolves, followed by longitudinal accomodative bracing of the acquired deformity. This historic management of Charcot foot arthropathy has not resulted in improved quality of life and has fostered interest in the surgical correction of the acquired deformity. Orthopaedic surgeons should understand the current indications for the surgical management of and the specific surgical techniques to correct acquired deformities in patients with Charcot foot and ankle disorders.
