[External fixator for reconstruction of foot statics in neurogenic osteoarthropathies].
Der Orthopäde 2001 April
The localization of neurogenic osteopathy in the hindfoot often results in deformities which cannot be corrected by conservative methods. Indications for operation are recurring ulcers, deep infection, and reduced stability with progressive deformity. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether external fixation enables reestablishment of foot stability even when the osteoarthropathic processes have not entirely ceased. A bilaterally mounted Hoffman 2 fixator was used for open repositioning and restabilization on 14 patients with osteoarthropathy of the hindfoot: 12 had diabetes mellitus and 13 had florid processes. Revision with axial correction was necessary in 2 patients. One underwent amputation according to Syme and received a prosthesis. Thirteen were completely remobilized: ten were fitted with an orthosis and three with a rigid orthopedic shoe. Complicated deformities of the hindfoot from neurogenic arthropathy can be satisfactorily restabilized in the edematous and demineralizing stages by surgery and the application of external fixation.
