Offering up-to-date guidance to surgeons looking for the most current management for the care of Charcot arthropathy and related fractures of the foot and ankle in diabetic patients, this book discusses pathophysiology, recommendations for pre-surgical evaluations, and management strategies for diabetes and Charcot neuroarthropathy, along with demographics and epidemiology of diabetes. Conservative care, total contact casts and footwear are discussed, as well as the management of infections and osteomyelitis. Acute fractures and Charcot arthropathy for the forefoot, midfoot and ankle follow, including plate and axial fixation techniques, with authors' preferred treatment strategies presented in step-by-step fashion. Written and edited by recognized leaders in the field, this is a must-have for orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists treating diabetic patients and will be an excellent resource for treating these debilitating afflictions.

"This book is quite well laid out, discussing some of the relevant pathophysiology of the neurovascular systems before addressing treatment options both conservative and surgical, but primarily surgical. This book is definitely aimed at clinical surgeons actively treating the diabetic foot in a comprehensive surgical manner. ... The book does meet its objectives. ... it is primarily aimed at surgeons, and within that group, orthopedic and podiatric surgeons will be the likely beneficiaries." (Martin C. Yorath, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2016)
