Alcohol-induced neuroarthropathy in the foot: a case series and review of literature.
J Foot Ankle Surg. 2008 Mar-Apr; 47(2):118-24.JF

Abstract

Charcot arthropathy, also known as neuroarthropathy, is most commonly associated with diabetes mellitus, despite a variety of other etiologies. A limited number of case reports have been published on neuroarthropathies caused by other forms of neuropathy, including alcoholic peripheral neuropathy. We report 4 cases of neuroarthropathy associated with chronic alcoholism in nondiabetic individuals. Conservative management similar to that afforded diabetic patients was successfully employed in these cases. A review of the clinical presentation and the pathology of alcoholic neuropathy is included in this report. ACFAS Level of Clinical Evidence: 4.
