Confronting a dramatic situation: the charcot foot complicated by osteomyelitis.
Int J Low Extrem Wounds. 2014 Dec; 13(4):247-62.IJ

Abstract

Charcot osteoarthropathy is a serious complication of diabetic neuropathy. Its prevalence in the diabetic population varies in the literature in relation to certain variables, such as the method of assessment, clinical or instrumental; the population studied; and the scope of the selection. This article is intended as a review of the recent literature concerning Charcot osteoarthropathy in its evolution and complications characterized by the development of ulceration and subsequent bone infection. Diagnosis and treatment strategies--either medical or surgical--are discussed both for Charcot arthropathy and osteomyelitis.
