CHARCOT NEUROARTHROPATHY, a chronic progressive destruction of joint integrity, is believed to result from a disturbance in pain and proprioceptive sensation. It is most commonly treated in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and dense peripheral neuropathy. PREVENTION, EARLY DIAGNOSIS, and early treatment are key to a patient's successful outcome. Educating the patient is paramount to avoid further complications and subsequent amputations. THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES the pathophysiology, staging, surgical treatment, and natural course of Charcot neuroarthropathy. AORN J 87 (May 2008) 971‐986. © AORN, Inc, 2008.
