Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A case of a patient with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTW) with Charcot osteoarthropathy is presented. A medline literature review was performed using the words Klippel-Trenaunay, orthopaedic, ankle, foot, and Charcot joint. Seven articles reported orthopaedic manifestations of KTW. They included limb hypertrophy and atrophy, limb-length discrepancies, digital anomalies, ulcerations, and spine and hip abnormalities, but no mention of Charcot osteoarthropathy. After many years of chronic nonhealing ulcers and repeated incision and drainage procedures the patient developed Charcot osteoarthropathy of the ankle without evidence of osteomyelitis or peripheral neuropathy but with severe deformity that required transtibial amputation. |
