Charcot Foot is a rare complication of neuropathy related to diabetes that can make injuries or infections extremely serious. If you have diabetes, you may also have nerve damage that loses you to feel in your lower legs and legs – it is extremely difficult or even impossible to feel anything – including pain.

Experts believe that Charkot’s leg is mostly caused by a minor injury or infection, which causes serious complications because you are not able to feel or notice symptoms. If neglected and timely treated is not treated, the joints stop working in the leg of Charcot, as well as the infection becomes great or spreads to the rest of your body.

In many severe cases, it can also give rise to dissection or life-drank complications.

What are the different stages of Charkot’s foot?

There are four staging systems to classify Charcot Foot, which are

Step 0

Here you can see inflammation of the foot – mostly due to injury – with signs such as redness, heat and swelling.

First phase

This includes inflammation, low bone mineral density and unstable joints with a piece of bone.

Stage 2

While the inflammation decreases to an extent, an X-ray will show bones to become thicker and will begin to fuse with each other.

Stage 3

The swelling goes away completely, and the joints are absolutely stable or without any deformity.

What is the reason for Charkot’s leg?

Experts say the charcoat foot is attached to peripheral neuropathy – often due to complications with diabetes when blood sugar levels are not under control. Some other low general causes of peripheral neuropathy include:

• Alcohol usage disorder
• Chronic inflammatory
• Some medicines like chemotherapy
• Nerve injury
• Vitamin B1 deficiency
• Thick or overweight
• Poor blood flow to the feet
• Being smoker – that contributes to both blood flow and nerve issues

What are the symptoms and symptoms of Charkot’s leg?

Charkot’s foot includes some early symptoms:

• Serious pain in your feet
• Disintegration
• Swelling
• Summer or heat
• Some advanced symptoms also include changes in your foot size, including
• Rotation

This occurs when bones in the middle break and collapse, causing the arc of your foot to become round.

Toe changes

Curl or curve under your toes may begin to be compensated by holding your toes like a claw shape.

Ankle shape changes

Your ankle may be bent or curved on one side and may look less straight and stable than your other ankle.

Foot ulcers

If the charcoat leg causes your leg or ankle to change the shape, you can put a lot of pressure on the areas of your foot. This can cause open ulcers or wounds that increase the risk of your infection.
