Abstract
Charcot joints of the spine are well-documented clinical entities most commonly associated with tabes dorsalis. Spinal neuropathic joints, however, may be produced by other disease processes including syringomyelia. In this review, the authors discuss the cause and treatment of spinal Charcot arthropathy with emphasis on surgical therapy and results.
