Abstract
The clinical details of six patients who developed spontaneous dislocations in the foot or ankle are presented. All were shown to have diabetic neuropathy. This previously unreported condition can occur with a short history of diabetes. Some cases can be managed without operation, though arthrodesis probably offers the best chance of obtaining a stable foot of satisfactory shape.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
