COMPARATIVE STUDY
JOURNAL ARTICLE
5 year retrospective follow-up of new cases of Charcot neuroarthropathy-A single centre experience.
Foot and Ankle Surgery : Official Journal of the European Society of Foot and Ankle Surgeons 2016 September
BACKGROUND: Few data describe the natural history of Charcot neuroarthropathy treated with a total contact plaster cast (TCC).
METHODS: A 5 year retrospective analysis of 50 patients presenting with an acute CN, Assessing time to clinical resolution into appropriate footwear and assessing if initial immobilisation device influenced resolution time.
RESULTS: During the study period 42 patients (84%) of patients went into remission, 2 died during their treatment, 4 had major amputations, in 2 patients treatment was ongoing. 36 patients were treated with combination offloading devices, 6 were treated with one modality only. Median time to resolution for patients initially treated with a TCC was not significantly shorter than for those treated with a removable below knee boot. 34.9% required re-casting due to clinical deterioration in the removable device.
CONCLUSIONS: More precise measures of resolution of CN are needed to assess the impact of initial treatment modality on time to resolution.
