[Does inflammatory activity of Charcot foot affect successful corrective arthrodesis?].

Background: Neuro-osteoarthropathy of the foot (CN) is divided into an active and inactive stage, with impact on the further treatment. The histopathological Charcot score (HCS) can be used, to grade the inflammatory activity in tissue samples.

Research Question: This study aims to clarify whether successful bony healing after arthrodesis is related to inflammatory activity of the disease.

Classification and Outcome of Fracture-Dislocation of the Cuneiform Bones.

Fractures and dislocations of the cuneiform bones are rare injuries to the midtarsal foot. The injury severity is often unclear, and the prognostic factors are unknown. The purpose of the present study was to characterize our insights of the diagnostics, therapy, and fracture patterns.
