Abstract
A Charcot joint or neurogenic arthropathy is seen in conditions where proprioceptive afferents from the joint (ire altered or destroyed. In many cases a definite cause for developing a Charcot joint can be identified but there (ire some cases (the idiopathic variant) where the etiology remains obscure. Few have been reported. We present such a case and discuss the treatment involved.
