Description
Summary:Highlights • The recommended gold standard treatment for a Charcot joint is immobilisation. • Few data describe the history of Charcot joints in a total contact plaster cast. • This data represents a large single centre experience of 50 consecutive Charcot cases. • Time to healing was not different between total contact cast and removable boot. • Despite optimal treatment with offloading and immobilisation, 35% required recasting.
