| Popis: | Diabetes mellitus has long been associated with the development of neuropathic joints similar to those described by Charcot in tabes dorsalis. This was first reported by Jordan in 1936, and subsequently by others (Johnson, 1967; Sinha et al., 1972; Forgacs, 1976). The patients reported in these papers were mostly middle-aged with long-standing diabetes, and the joints principally affected were the metatarsophalangeal and tarsal joints, and rarely the ankle joint. Recently, Clohisy and Thompson (1988) reported a new group of diabetics, in their 20s and SOS, presenting with neuroarthopathy with gross destruction of their foot and ankle joints. We present two such cases treated in our department. |
