Charcot arthropathy is a kind of arthritis secondary to denervation. Charcot, a French doctor, first discovered the characteristic arthropathy of patients with spinal tuberculosis, so he named it Charcot arthropathy.
The joint neurotrophic disorder of the disease can be secondary to chronic, progressive and painless bone destruction of joints, leading to joint deformation, abnormal activity and subluxation. The patient has deep sensation and pain dysfunction, but the motor nerve is not invaded. Because its arthropathy is caused by the deep sensory damage of the central or peripheral nerves, it is also called neurotrophic arthropathy, which usually occurs in 40~60 years old, male: female =3∶ 1.
