Charcot foot is a serious condition that weakens the bones and joints of the foot, potentially leading to fractures, collapse, and significant deformity. Early diagnosis and specialized care are essential. Dr. Neville provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for Charcot foot in Boerne, TX, with a focus on protecting the foot, maintaining stability, and preventing further complications.
Treatment Options
Early treatment focuses on strict protection and off-loading of the foot, usually with immobilization, to reduce stress while active inflammation and bone injury settle.
Advanced Treatment
Severe deformity, instability, recurrent ulceration, or a foot that cannot be safely accommodated may require reconstructive surgery in selected cases.
When to Seek Care
Urgent evaluation is important for a warm, swollen, red foot with little or unexpected pain, especially in patients with neuropathy.
Schedule an appointment with Dr. Neville for evaluation of suspected Charcot foot.
