NCT04039308

Brief Summary

The surgical techniques described in the literature for surgical management of diabetic charcot arthropathy of the foot and ankle include simple exostectomy, open reduction and internal fixation of neuropathic fractures, external fixation, arthrodesis, Achilles tendon lengthening. Patients are followed up at 1 year postoperative by an x-ray of the foot and ankle anteroposterior , lateral and oblique views to assess rate of union ,the correction of deformity by measuring the foot angles . The functional outcome is assessed by the AOFAS scoring system and the diabetic foot ulcer scaoeuulcer scale(18).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessment of postoperative deformity correction in at least one- year postoperative follow up1x rays.

    Assessment of accuracy of correction in patients with Charcot neuroarthropathy of the foot and ankle using follow up x rays and measuring the foot and ankle angles. The normal angles are documented, so we will compare these angles with the normal ones.
