Neuropathic arthropathy (or neuropathic osteoarthropathy), also known as Charcot joint (often Charcot foot), refers to progressive degeneration of a weight bearing joint, a process marked by bony destruction, bone resorption, and eventual deformity.Onset is usually insidious.europathic arthropathy (or neuropathic osteoarthropathy), also known as Charcot joint (often Charcot foot), refers to progressive degeneration of a weight bearing joint, a process marked by bony destruction, bone resorption, and eventual deformity.
Charcot foot weakens the bones, making them susceptible to fractures. As the condition progresses, the joints collapse and the foot begins to shape itself abnormally. Because of the neuropathy, Charcot foot causes a decrease in the footâs sensitivity to stimuli and interferes with the muscular balance that controls the footâs movements.
