Charcot's FootCharcot's
foot is a complication of diabetes that almost always occurs in those
with neuropathy (nerve damage). When neuropathy is present, the bones
in the foot become weakened and can fracture easily, even with there
being no major trauma. As the neuropathy is present, the pain is not
noticed. The person continues to walk on it. This can lead to severe
deformities of the foot. As this can be very disabling, early diagnosis
and treatment is important.
