Revision of Failed Midfoot Arthrodesis in Charcot Arthropathy
نویسنده
چکیده
particularly in patients for whom instability and the potential for nonunion are increased (e.g., in those with neuropathy. There are current fixation options such as custom anatomically designed midfoot plates which provide stability as well as locking and compression capacity (Maxlock, Orthohelix, Akron OH, and DePuy, Warsaw IN). A novel alternative for fixation is using an intramedullary system (Tars-X, Extremity Medical, Parsipanny, NJ)

متن کاملThe role of an extended medial column arthrodesis for Charcot midfoot neuroarthropathy
The etiology of diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy involving the midfoot often includes an inciting traumatic event or repetitive micro-trauma from an uncompensated biomechanical imbalance that potentiates an incompletely understood pathway leading to a rocker-bottom foot deformity and ulceration. In the setting of a severe Charcot foot fracture and/or dislocation with obvious osseous instabilit...
متن کاملReconstruction of Lisfranc joint dislocations secondary to Charcot neuroarthropathy using a plantar plate.
Lisfranc joint dislocation secondary to Charcot arthropathy is a debilitating condition that often leads to ulceration and infection. After conservative treatment, such as bracing and appropriate shoe wear fail, the only option might be amputation. However, we have seen good clinical outcomes from applying a plate to the plantar (tension) side of the medial midfoot. In our retrospective study, ...
متن کاملCharcot arthropathy of the diabetic foot. Current concepts and review of 36 cases.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The incidence of diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy has increased. The purpose here was to study the current diagnostics and treatment of the Charcot foot. MATERIALS AND METHODS During a time period from 1994 to 2000, a total of 36 feet were diagnosed as cases of diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathies. A retrospective analysis of patient records and radiographs was undertaken....
متن کاملRealignment and extended fusion with use of a medial column screw for midfoot deformities secondary to diabetic neuropathy.
BACKGROUND The failure of nonsurgical treatment of patients with midfoot and hindfoot deformity secondary to diabetic Charcot arthropathy may lead to a rocker-bottom foot deformity with recurrent or persistent plantar ulceration. We report our experience with realignment and extended fusion with primary use of a medial column screw for this midfoot deformity. METHODS From July 2001 through Ju...
