Charcot Foot
Charcot Foot is a condition that affects the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the foot, leading to severe deformities. It is often associated with diabetes and occurs when there is nerve damage, resulting in a loss of sensation. This can cause repeated injuries that go unnoticed, leading to inflammation and weakening of the bones.
As the condition progresses, the foot may become swollen, warm, and painful. Without proper treatment, Charcot Foot can result in significant structural changes, making it difficult to walk. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent complications and preserve foot function.
