Normal Ankle Xray.

Radiographs of an ankle that is affected by Charcot Arthropathy depends on the chronicity of the problem. Deformity and loss of normal alignment is the first this that strikes one's mind. Complete destruction of the ankle joint and the surrounding joints such as the subtalar joint and midtarsal joints maybe evident. We should also look for evidence of osteomyelitis (infection of the bone). This is very important, as this needs to be removed to prevent infection.(the left is an xray taken from the front and the right from the side)
Charcot arthropathy is very difficult to clinical differentiate from septic arthritis (infection within the joint). Very frequently one can be mistaken for the other. Another investigation to help differential the two is a technitium 99 bone scan.
The diagnosis of Charcot arthropathy is made by a combination of clinical impression, radiological investigations (plain xrays and bone scan) and a positive finding of bone shards in the joint synovium (joint lining).
