Locally obtained autologous bone grafts are effective for achieving arthrodesis while managing foot and ankle charcot’s neuroarthropathy: short to mid-term results from a specialized north African foot and ankle surgery unit
Foot and ankle Charcot neuroarthropathy deformity correction by arthrodesis of the affected joint as a salvage management option resulted in acceptable clinical and radiological outcomes. To enhance the local environment for arthrodesis consolidation, locally obtained autografts led to higher union rates and avoided the drawbacks of using other graft types.
