Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

CASE: Charcot arthropathy (CA) is a progressive degenerative joint disease typically affecting lower extremity weight-bearing joints, with only a few cases reported in the fingers. We present 2 cases of interphalangeal joint CA: the long finger distal interphalangeal joint in a 73-year-old man with severe carpal tunnel syndrome and the ring finger proximal interphalangeal joint of a 71-year-old woman with diabetic neuropathy. CONCLUSION: Two cases of CA of the digits were treated with splinting with resolution of symptoms and no wound complications.
