History Mitchell, 1831: The first association between joints and neurological diseases. Charcot 1868: Arthropathy and tabes dorsalis. Jordan 1936: Neuritic manifestation of DM Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Charcot’s Foot A Neuropathic Arthropathy Caused by repetitive trauma in the setting of: • Diminished sensation & proprioception • Motor neuropathy results in muscle imbalance & abnormal weight bearing. • “Rocker Bottom Deformity” a convex deformity of the foot’s plantar aspect caused by the collapse of metatarsal bones Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course

Aetiopathogenesis Ø Peripheral sensory neuropathy is always present +/- motor. Ø Autonomic neuropathy leads to increased blood flow. ( plethysmography & uptake of isotopes). Ø Trauma may be an important precipitating factor, although 2/3 rd of patients don’t remember any injury. Ø Bone metabolism both osteoblastic and osteoclastic activities are increased.

Epidemiology Ø Incidence : 0. 1 – 0. 5 %. Increased in patients with neuropathy. Ø Common in the 4 th or 5 th decades of life. Ø Bilateral in 30 % of patients. Ø Sex difference : No Ø Type 1 or type 2: Both are at risk. Ø Majority: in the mid foot but any bone or joint in the foot or ankle can be affected. Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Clinical Features and Diagnosis Acute Charcot Ø Warm, inflamed and swollen. Ø Misdiagnosed as cellulitis, osteomyelitis or inflammatory arthropathy as gouty or septic. Ø Although sensory neuropathy, pain is common feature followed by discomfort. Ø Diagnosis by exclusion as investigations in early stages are negative. Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Clinical Features and Diagnosis High index of suspicion is necessary so that appropriate treatment is immediately instituted to prevent severe deformity! Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Clinical Features and Diagnosis Chronic Charcot, may be months, painless, without temperature difference and deformed. Ø Reactivation by further trauma is frequent. Ø Patients are at high risk of ulceration and amputation, so long term follow up is recommended. Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Investigations Ø X-ray : Early; absent or subtle finding. Late; bone and joint destruction, fragmentation. Ø Tc bisphonate bone scan: Increased bone uptake. Ø In labeled leucocytes scan to differentiate from osteomyelitis. Ø MRI: Bone marrow oedema is the earliest sign. Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Treatment 1. 2. 3. 4. Immobilization Radiotherapy and Ultrasound. Pharmacological Treatment. Surgical Treatment. Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Treatment 1. Immobilization: Total Contact Cast (TCC), Removable Cast Walker (RCW). Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Removable Cast Walker Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Treatment 1. Immobilization: Almost 16 weeks (3 -6 months) but may be more. (temp gradient less than 1 on 2 occasions or radiology). Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Treatment 2. Radiotherapy and Ultrasound: May be useful in conjunction to offloading but only few small studies. Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Treatment 3. Pharmacological Treatment. ü Pilot study first using pamidronate, 1994. Other Bisphonates were used to decrease disease activity and bone turnover markers. ü Calcitonin were also used. ü Given for 12 weeks or till temp gradient is less than 2 on 2 consecutive visits. Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
Treatment 4. Surgical treatment: No role in acute. Later may be to remove bony deformities or constructive surgeries to achieve a stable shape. Techniques include; Arthrodesis, exostectomies, reconstruction and Achilles tendon lengthening. Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course

Conclusion Ø High degree of suspicion to diagnose acute Charcot arthropathy. Ø High risk categorization. Ø Immobilization and Bisphonate. Charcot Arthropathy Mansoura 2 nd International DF Training Course
