Advanced Charcot Foot Reconstruction and Limb Salvage

At Edge Podiatry, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Charcot foot, diabetic limb salvage, advanced wound care, and complex foot and ankle reconstruction. Our physicians have extensive experience managing both acute and chronic Charcot deformities, ranging from early-stage immobilization and custom bracing to advanced surgical reconstruction.

For patients with severe deformity, instability, recurrent ulcerations, progressive collapse of the foot and ankle, or rocker-bottom foot deformities, we offer advanced Charcot reconstructive surgery designed to restore alignment, stabilize weakened joints, and create a functional, braceable foot. Our goal is to preserve mobility, improve quality of life, and reduce the risk of chronic wounds, infection, hospitalization, and amputation.

Using modern reconstructive techniques, we are able to realign deformities, rebuild the structural integrity of the foot and ankle, and provide durable solutions for even the most challenging Charcot deformities. Depending on the severity of the condition, reconstruction may involve:

• Realignment of collapsed bones and joints

• Internal fixation utilizing plates, screws, and specialized hardware

• External fixation when appropriate

• Joint fusion procedures

• Correction of rocker-bottom deformities

• Removal of bony prominences causing ulcerations

• Limb salvage procedures designed to prevent amputation

Because every Charcot deformity is unique, treatment plans are carefully customized based on the severity of the condition, the patient's overall health, vascular status, wound-healing potential, and long-term functional goals.

Charcot foot is a progressive condition that can rapidly lead to severe deformity, chronic ulceration, infection, and limb loss if left untreated. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical. Our team works closely with wound care specialists, vascular specialists, endocrinologists, and other healthcare providers to deliver comprehensive multidisciplinary care for even the most complex diabetic foot conditions.

Our physicians have extensive experience in diabetic limb salvage and Charcot reconstruction, allowing us to provide advanced treatment options that help patients maintain independence and avoid major amputation whenever possible. For many patients, surgical reconstruction can restore mobility, improve function, and significantly reduce the risk of future ulceration, infection, and recurrent deformity.
