Charcot's joint following Keller arthroplasty. A case report

MT Darst, TD Weaver and B Zangwill
Veterans Health Administration Medical Center, Lebanon, PA 17042, USA.

Neuropathic osteoarthropathy, i.e., Charcot's joint, has not previously been reported as a sequela of elective foot surgery. The authors present a challenging case of a patient with long-standing diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy who developed neuropathic osteoarthropathy after a Keller arthroplasty for a recalcitrant hallux ulcer. The radiographic findings, diagnostic tests, and histopathology are discussed. Finally, the authors offer suggestions for surgeons contemplating a Keller arthroplasty for patients with peripheral neuropathy.
