 What is Charcot Foot Reconstruction?

Charcot foot is rare and is often a complication of diabetes-related neuropathy. Charcot foot can also be called "rocker bottom" foot. **Charcot foot reconstruction** is a surgical procedure to offer patients a stable platform on which to stand and walk. [Schneck Podiatry](https://www.schneckmed.org/medical-services/podiatry) providers will align and reposition the foot and ankle to reduce the risk of potential ulcerations. This will allow patients to ambulate wound free and provide a higher quality of life.
