Association of Anatomical Location of Neuroarthropathic (Charcot's) Destruction with Age-and Sex-Matched Bone Mineral Density Reduction

CONCLUSIONS: We believe that the present findings suggest a possible relationship between osteoporosis/osteopenia and the location of CN development. With these findings in mind, we conclude that patients with diabetic skeletal fragility may benefit from treatment of underlying poor bone mineral density to prevent the onset of Charcot neuroarthropathy.PMID:38441972 | DOI:10.7547/21-163
