Charcot joint

Discussion:

This is an example of a neuropatic joint in a poorly controlled diabetic patient.

Remember the 6 Ds that characterize the Charcot's joint:

  • increased density (subchondral sclerosis)
  • destruction
  • debris (intra-articular loose bodies)
  • dislocation
  • distention
  • disorganisation
