The Essential Charcot Neuroarthropathy: Biomechanics, Pathophysiology, and MRI Findings provides a comprehensive analysis of Charcot neuroarthropathy (or Charcot Foot) in diabetic patients. All aspects are covered, including epidemiology, biomechanics, pathophysiology, socioeconomic impacts, radiological findings, and differential diagnosis, with an emphasis on MRI. Chapters address the challenges of pre-and-post surgical management of Charcot neuroarthropathy and the role of unconventional imaging modalities in diagnosis. The book presents an analysis of the normal biomechanics of the ankle and foot, the biomechanical derangements of the ankle-foot unit (including abnormal gait) caused by diabetes Type II, and more.

Finally, there is also a reference of the pathophysiology of diabetes-induced peripheral neuropathy and its direct link with the development of Charcot neuroarthropathy foot. Diabetes-induced Charcot foot is frequently misunderstood, misinterpreted and misdiagnosed which can lead to confusion and detrimental management with reported high morbidity.

Dr. Pierre-Jerome has over 40 years of experience in Radiology and research including diabetes, skeletal muscle and bone marrow. Author of several publications in International Journals. Co-author of five books in Radiology. Reviewer for US and European Journals. Author of two novels. He’s a member of several Medical Associations and fluent in English, French, Spanish and Norwegian.?He was the visiting Associate Professor in University of Rochester, New York and worked as Faculty and Director of International Exchange Program for the Musculoskeletal Division at Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta GA, USA.?Presently he is working at the Akershus University Hospital in Oslo, Norway.
