This document provides information about Charcot disease (neuropathic osteoarthropathy). It begins with a brief history, noting early descriptions by Musgrave and Charcot. Charcot disease is defined as a non-infective, destructive process affecting bones and joints caused by neuropathy. Risk factors include diabetes, alcoholism, and other conditions causing neuropathy. Clinical presentation varies from swelling in acute cases to structural deformities in chronic cases. Management involves immobilization, bracing, surgery such as fusion or osteotomy to correct deformities, and sometimes amputation for severe cases. Complications can include fractures, deformities, ulcers, and infection.
hip osteoarthritis is most disabling condition and surgery is a consequence of the same. but if this condition can assess on time so it can be manageable with conservative treatment and decrease the prevalence of AVN. further life of an individual become better.
28,000 ankle sprains occur daily in the US (Kaminski 2013)
Ankle is the 2nd most commonly injured body site. (Ferran 2006)
Ankle sprains are the most common type of ankle injury. (Ferran 2006)
A sprained ankle can happen to athletes and non-athletes,
children and adults.
Inversion injury most common mechanism (Ferran 2006)
Only risk factor is previous ankle sprain (Ferran 2006)
Sex , generalized joint laxity or anatomical foot types are
not risk factors. (Beynnon et al. 2002 )
Student's elbow, or 'Olecranon Bursitis' is a condition where a small sack of tissue over the tip of your elbow becomes inflamed and swollen. The pointy bit of bone at the end of your elbow is called the 'olecranon' and the small sack which sits between the bone and the skin is called a 'bursa'.

Charcot joint or neuropathic joint are destructed joint occurs in Diabetes, syphilis, syringomyelia , leprosy, AMLS, Peripheral neuropathy and any condition leads to impair sensation of peripheral part of body
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

1. Welcome to short note
presentation
Charcot disease
Dr. Ram kishor goit
Phase-B, Resident
ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY
2. HISTORY
• In 1703 William Musgrave first described a neuropathic joint
as an arthralgia caused by venereal disease
• In 1868 Jean-Martin Charcot gave the first detailed
description of the neuropathic aspect. He noted this disease
process as a complication of syphilis (most common cause
until 1936 when Jordan linked it to Diabetes)
3. DEFINITION
• Neuropathic (Charcot) osteoarthropathy is a non infective, destructive,
lesion of a bone and joint resulting from a fracture or dislocation or
both in a patient who has peripheral neuropathy.
• A chronic and progressive joint disease following loss of protective
sensation and leads to destruction of joints and surrounding bony
structures. May lead to amputation if left untreated.
4. Also known as,
Charcot arthropathy
Charcot foot
Neuropathic arthropathy
Neuropathic joints
Neuropathic osteoarthropathy
5. RISK FACTORS
Diabetic neuropathy
Alcoholism
Leprosy
Meningomyelocele
Tabes dorsalis/syphilis
Syringomyelia
Any condition that causes sensory or autonomic neuropathy
6. EPIDEMIOLOGY
In diabetic patients: 0.1-1.4%
In diabetics with neuropathy 7.5%
Bilateral disease occurs in <10%
Type 1 DM: 20-25 years post diagnosis
Type 2 DM: 5-10 years post diagnosis
Gender : Male predominance
7. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Neurotraumatic theory: German theory 1946.
Peripheral neuropathy loss of protective sensation
increase susceptibility to injuries (repeated minor or acute)
progressive destruction and damage to bone and joints.
Neurovascular theory: French theory 1868.
Spinal cord lesion autonomic neuropathy AV shunting
increased blood flow (warm foot and dilated veins) Increased
osteoclast activity bone resorption and mechanical weakening
fractures and deformity
8. Symptoms
• Swelling foot and ankle
• Pain 50%
• Loss of function
Acute Charcot
• Swelling
• Warmth (3.3° warmer)
• Erythema (will decrease with Charcot but not with infection on elevation)
Chronic Charcot
• Structurally deformed foot
• Rocker bottom deformity
• Collapsed medial arch
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
11. Stage conti…..
• Stage 2: Decreased local oedema , Sclerosis , Fracture healing
Debris resorption , Decreased joint mobility.
• Stage 3: Reconstruction. No joint oedema ,Consolidation and
remodelling of fracture fragments. Ulcers may develop.
12. Investigation
• X-ray : considerable disruption of the joint. early disease, the picture
will resemble osteoarthritis.
• CT scan
• MRI: differentiate between abscess and soft tissue swelling
• Radionucleotide imaging : To differentiate soft tissue infection from
osteomyelitis.
• Indium WBC scan : Negative in Charcot. Positive in
osteomyelitis
• CBC,RBS,CRP
• HbA1C
• Biopsy: to guide antibiotic therapy
• Histology: Synovial hypertrophy and detritic synovitis
13. MANAGEMENT
General measures
Counselling about disease
Improve nutrition
Optimize co-morbidity
Rest
Immobilization by cast
Care of ulcer.
Non-Surgical:
Protective splint
walking brace
orthosis or cast
Pharmacological :
Bisphosphonates may be help to heal the bones.
14. Conti….
Surgical:
Early stages may be treated with open reduction and internal fixation
and fusion.
In the later stages, surgical options may include :
Realignment osteotomy and fusion (correction of deformity) or
ostectomy (removal of bony prominence that could cause an ulcer)
arthrodesis +/- osteotomy
• Severe deformity that is not braceable
Amputation
• Failed surgery. Unstable arthrodesis. Recurrent infection.
15. Complications
Fractures
Collapse of the midfoot arch (called rocker bottom
foot)
Deformities of the foot and ankle
Ulcers
Non-union
“floppy foot”( gross instability )
Infection
Soft tissue infection or osteomyelitis may occur.
