Neuropathic Arthropathy, Charcot Foot
Definition
Neuropathic arthropathy, also known as Charcot foot, is a progressive degenerative condition affecting the joints and bones in the foot. It is characterized by the weakening and eventual collapse of the foot's arch due to nerve damage, often associated with diabetes or other neurological disorders. The condition can lead to deformity, instability, and increased risk of ulcers and infections.
