Abstract
It is now well accepted that diabetic patients with clinically and radiographically nonplantigrade Charcot foot arthropathy are best managed with correction of the acquired deformity. Several investigations have demonstrated a high probability for a favorable clinical outcome when the deformity is in the midfoot. Unstable deformity at the subtalar or ankle joints portends a far worse clinical outcome. The goal of this discussion was to describe the author's approach to this highly challenging clinical problem.
