“…Early surgical intervention in high-risk patients may allow shorter periods of treatment at lower costs with an improved quality of life. We believe surgical reconstruction in Charcot feet should not be limited to a salvage procedure and an alternative to amputation in failed nonoperative care [20,30]. Amputation may be the more expensive option compared with reorientation arthrodesis [4].…”

“…Limbs with open ulceration at the initial presentation and limbs with recurrent ulceration have decreased limb survival rate compared to feet without ulcers, adding to an annual limb amputation rate of approximately 1% to 5% [21,23,29]. The goals of treatment should not be merely to save the limb [10,[19][20][21][22]: Pinzur proposed the goal include a long-term infection-and ulcer-free plantigrade and stable foot that allows the patient to walk with commercially available depth-inlay therapeutic footwear [21].…”

“…One comparative study [30] demonstrated a significant delay of fracture healing (uniting at an average of 187% of time in non-neuropathic DM patients compared to patients without DM). Three retrospective studies have noted increased incidence of delayed union, non-union, and pseudarthrosis following elective arthrodesis in neuropathic DM patients [26,29,30].…”
