Diabetic neuroarthropathy (Charcot joints): the importance of recognizing chronic sensory deficits in the treatment of acute foot and ankle fractures in diabetic patients.
Orthopedics. 2003 Apr; 26(4):415-8.O

Abstract

Patients with diabetic neuropathy are at a higher risk of developing complications, especially Charcot arthropathy. Early diagnosis and intervention is the key to optimizing outcome. Therefore, diabetic patients with a lower extremity injury should be screened with sensory testing using a 5.07 monofilament.
