Comprehensive Rehabilitation of Charcot Foot With Equinovarus Deformity: A Case Report.
Curēus 2023 November
Charcot neuroarthropathy is the destruction of the bones and joints caused by underlying neuropathy, trauma, and disturbances in bone metabolism. Modern health care and surgical options now include limb salvage. An acquired or congenital foot deformity is the equinovarus deformity, also known as clubfoot or talipes equinovarus. The foot is fixed in plantarflexion (equinus), deviates toward its center (varus), and is rotated upward so that it rests on its outside (supination) in this condition. In another way, the foot turns axially outward while pointing downward and inward. Charcot neuroarthropathy generally occurs due to diabetes, but in this case, it occurs due to trauma and leads to a traumatic congenital talipes equinovarus deformity. A 38-year-old male patient complained of right foot pain and an inability to walk. Two years ago, he was involved in an accident that left him with a right leg injury. He was eventually diagnosed with a mid-shaft tibia-fibula fracture and underwent surgery with nailing. But one month ago, he again met with an accident and was diagnosed with Charcot's foot and equinovarus deformity. He returned to Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH), Sawangi, Wardha, Maharashtra, for further management. K-wire was applied for the fixation of Charcot foot with equinovarus deformity. Further on, rehabilitation was started to restore mobility, regain full range of motion and develop muscle strength.
