At Pearl Foot and Ankle in Oregon, we understand the challenges that come with Charcot foot, a severe complication often caused by diabetes. Our expert, board-certified podiatrists specialize in Charcot reconstruction surgery, offering advanced surgical treatments designed to restore function, improve mobility, and relieve pain for individuals suffering from this debilitating condition.

What is Charcot Foot?

Charcot foot, also known as Charcot arthropathy, is a condition where the bones, joints, and soft tissues in the foot and ankle weaken and collapse due to nerve damage, often caused by diabetes. Over time, individuals with Charcot foot can experience significant deformities, including collapsed arches, bone fractures, and misalignment of the foot, leading to difficulty walking and increased risk of ulcers and infection.

Charcot reconstruction surgery is a specialized procedure designed to correct the severe deformities caused by Charcot foot. This surgical intervention helps to realign the bones, joints, and tissues in the foot, improving overall function and preventing further deformity. Our board-certified podiatrists utilize the latest surgical techniques to achieve the best outcomes for our patients.

Benefits of Charcot Reconstruction Surgery

1. Pain Relief: One of the primary benefits of Charcot reconstruction is the relief of chronic pain caused by the deformities in the foot and ankle.
2. Restored Function: Surgery can help restore the natural structure and function of the foot, improving the ability to walk, stand, and engage in everyday activities.
3. Prevention of Further Deformity: By addressing the underlying issues, the surgery prevents the condition from progressing, reducing the risk of complications like ulcers or infections.
4. Enhanced Quality of Life: With the restoration of mobility and pain relief, patients experience an improved quality of life, allowing them to resume daily activities with greater comfort and ease.
