Thanks for all of this information.
Now we can be up to date about it.

Charcot neuroarthropathy in DM has to be detected very early to prevent further disaster.
At our diabetic limb salvage center, Ihave a protocol for detecting Charcot early.
1. Every diabetic is advised on an exercise schedule only after confirming bone and joint deformities on AP/ LAT (dynamic) X-ray views of the feet. This is done every six months and three monthsfor low risk feet and high risk feet respectively. This costs about $4, which is economical and my patients can afford. This protocol has helped many patients to arrest the pathophysiology of active Charcot.
2. The task force has not considered the Charcot changes in DFI managed for a long duration. The prevention and treatment aspects of this condition are really challenging than the active / inactive Charcots. This is common in asian contries as DFI in PNP is common and management is poor.
We plan AP/LAT (dynamic) X-ray views of the feet every month for all DFI patients in whom we have planned release of tarsal tunnel. It concludes on radiological healing and helps me to detect Charcot changes.
3. Osteomyelitis of navicular bone or medial cuniform bone alone in diabetes has led to charcot changes. This issue has to be addressed .
4. I have been practicing medical management for Charcot and limb salvage is very satisfactory.
As we practice evidence-based medicine, we always take blood sugar as evidence for DM management, Similarly, every diabetic should be advised exercise only after having an evidence that his or her feet bone architecture is normal to walk, run, jog, etc.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sunil V.Kari, MS
