Treatment Failures in Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis Associated with Concomitant Charcot Arthropathy: The Role of Underlying Arteriopathy

Objective: Therapy for diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) with Charcot neuroosteoarthropathy is challenging. In patients with diabetic Charcot osteomyelitis (DCO), both the anatomic deformity and infection must be addressed. This study assessed the outcomes of DCO therapy and variables associated wit...

In patients with diabetic Charcot osteomyelitis (DCO), both the anatomic deformity and infection must be addressed. This study assessed the outcomes of DCO therapy and variables associated with treatment failure and compared them with outcomes of DFO cases. Methods: A single-center, retrospective, case-control study was performed to compare 93 DCO episodes with 530 DFO episodes, using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results: Clinical failure occurred in 21.5% of DCO compared with 22.3% in DFO episodes (p=0.89) and was associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) stages 3 or 4 (HR 6.1; CI 2.0-18.1) and chronic treatment with immunosuppressives (HR 7.4; CI 2.0-27.1). Major amputations were significantly more frequent in DCO (28% versus 13.6%; p<0.01) and associated with PAD stages 3 and 4 (HR 8.0; CI 2.2-29.4), smoking (HR 5.4; CI 1.2-24.6), alcohol abuse (HR 3.5; CI 1.1-10.6), and renal dialysis (HR 4.9; CI 1.3-18.9). Conclusions: Clinical treatment failures did not differ between DCO and DFO. However, patients with DCO underwent major amputation twice as often as those with DFO. Unlike widespread belief, treatment failure in DCO patients may, similar to DFO, be associated with a striking epidemiological link to severe PAD.Felix WA WaibelMadlaina SchöniLeo KronbergerAndreas FluryMartin C.
