Charcot Deformity

Protecting the Foot from Serious Structural Changes

Specialized Care to Stabilize Charcot Foot

Charcot deformity is a serious condition that occurs when weakened bones and joints in the foot begin to break down, often due to nerve damage from diabetes. As the bones soften and shift, the foot can collapse or change shape, leading to swelling, warmth, redness, and instability. Without early treatment, these changes can progress quickly and increase the risk of ulcers, infection, and long-term disability.

We begin with a detailed exam and imaging to determine the stage and severity of the deformity. Treatment typically includes offloading to protect the foot, immobilization, custom bracing, and management of swelling and inflammation. For advanced cases or significant deformity, surgical intervention may be recommended to restore stability and prevent further collapse.

Our goal is to slow the progression, protect the foot from additional damage, and support long-term mobility. With careful monitoring and specialized treatment, we help reduce complications and maintain the healthiest foot structure possible.
