Abstract
Charcot's arthropathy is a rare complication to diabetes with peripheral neuropathy. The diagnosis is based on a red, oedematous foot with 2 degrees C difference in skin temperature between the affected foot compared to the unaffected foot. The condition is characterised by fractures, dislocation of joints and deformity. The treatment is off-loading. When the off-loading treatment is completed, the patient should gradually adjust to wearing bespoken shoes. Lifelong control of the feet and shoes is necessary.
