Charcot foot and diabetes foot are complications of diabetes.
Charcot foot affects the bones and joints in the feet. Due to nerve damage, the foot can break and change shape without causing much pain. This can make the foot look different and become less stable.
In Diabetic foot, nerve damage and poor blood flow can lead to slow healing of wounds and sores. If not taken care of, these problems can become severe and even require amputation (removing a part of the foot or leg).
The treatment for Charcot foot and diabetic foot involves a multidisciplinary approach, including medical management and, in some cases, surgery.
1. Medical Management:
• Using casts, braces, or special footwear to stabilise the foot.
• Relieving pressure on the affected areas to allow healing.
• Treating wounds or ulcers to prevent infections.
• Managing infections with antibiotics if necessary.
• Keep blood sugar under control to prevent further complications.
2. Surgery (if required):
• Surgery may be recommended in severe cases to correct deformities, relieve pressure, or remove infected tissue.
• Surgical procedures vary depending on the specific condition and severity. If other treatments fail, recommended procedures include joint reconstruction, realignment, and amputation.
The cost of surgery for Charcot foot or diabetic foot varies based on the specific procedure, hospital fees, surgeon's fees, location, and post-operative care.
