The pathogenesis of CN is multifactorial as neuropathy is a necessary, but insufficient condition for the onset of the disease. The most important indication for surgical treatment of Charcot foot is a severe deformity that compromises the functionality of the limb, causing a high risk for ulceration, infection and amputation. The goal in Charcot foot treatment is to obtain and maintain the correction of a severe deformity and/or prevent its development. There are many surgical approach to the CN, such as exostectomy, arthrodesis with internal or external fixation and amputation. Every method has a different indication and specific complication. The right surgical approach in the CN is a real challenge for orthopedic surgeon that need a complete knowing of technique, material and complication.
