Charcot arthropathy after acetabular fracture.
نویسنده
چکیده
Three middle-aged patients with diabetes sustained fractures of the acetabulum which were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. In each, rapid dissolution of the femoral head occurred with minimal discomfort, typical of a Charcot arthropathy. The patients had no other evidence of neuropathic arthropathy. Charcot changes may occur after high-energy trauma in patients with diabetes.

متن کاملPattern of diabetic neuropathic arthropathy associated with the peripheral bone mineral density.
The relationship between the bone mineral density (BMD) and Charcot arthropathy is unclear. Prospectively, 55 consecutive diabetic patients presenting with a Charcot arthropathy of the foot or ankle were classified as having a fracture, dislocation, or a combination fracture-dislocation pattern of initial destruction. In these groups we used dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry to compare the perip...
