Soft tissue surgery in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

BA Roper and SB Tibrewal

London Hospital, England.

Ten patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease have been reviewed at an average of 14 years after soft tissue procedures to correct foot deformities. No patient has so far required triple arthrodesis and the overall results as regards function, appearance and symptoms are satisfactory in all patients. It is concluded that soft tissue procedures can certainly postpone the need for triple arthrodesis and in many cases may obviate it altogether.
