Abstract

Surgical options for diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy of the foot and ankle must take into consideration the challenging environment for bone healing that accompanies these complex pathologic conditions. Bone grafting has established an important role in reconstructive surgery to promote bone formation, replacement, and repair. This article provides an overview of available bone grafting methods in conjunction with a review of the literature on these techniques as they pertain to diabetic Charcot foot and ankle reconstruction.
