Abstract:
Charcot neuroarthropathy involving foot is a frequent and potentially a devastating complication of diabetes. In addition to good control of diabetes, surgical shoes and regular podiatric treatment, correction of foot deformity to prevent ulceration, deep infection and limb loss are now well established. Vascular insufficiency is common in this group of patients and traditional revascularisation procedures do not always succeed in healing ulcers and treating critical ischaemia. It compromises wound and bone healing. We report successful use of a modified technique of tibial cortex transverse transport (TTT) in a case where traditional revascularisation methods failed to correct critical ischaemia. We have achieved successful soft tissue and bone healing using this technique.
