Overview

Proof-of-concept shows enhanced healing of neuropathic ulcers and improved limb stability in patients with charcot neuroarthropathy.

Key Points

  • Hindfoot angle improved significantly from 33.6 to 6.2 degrees after minimally invasive surgery.
  • All patients achieved limb preservation after surgery, with no postoperative infections reported.
  • AOFAS score significantly increased from 45.0 to 79.8, indicating better function after treatment.
  • Average healing time for neuropathic ulcers was 5 weeks, suggesting effective short-term outcomes.
