As they walk through the surgery procedure, they share the thinking process with each step. QUOTES:“So just getting the heel into position is a huge part of this. So we’re really kind of yanking on that thing trying to pull it down back into at least a neutral position, if not, back to an anatomic position.” - Dr. Damien Dauphinee [06:38]“It’ll be one giant platform that he’s standing on. The motion of mobility, he’s lost that. The motion of mobility has kind of led to the problem that he has, and we want to lock that up to make sure everything stays stable.” - Dr. Raafae Hussain [20:54]Top Takeaways:A recap of what is Charcot footAn indepth look of charcot reconstructionWhy it’s such an issue for diabetic patientsThinking process as they go through the surgery step by stepWhat You Will Learn:[00:39] Intro[02:18] What is Charcot foot[04:29] Dissecting the ankle joint[09:10] Why Dr. Dauphinee prefers the frame[10:05] Dissecting the subtalar joint[15:04] Working on the midfoot[20:14] The working conditions[22:08] Creating the frame and the stability block[28:20] The before and after[30:16] OutroResources:Visit our website: https://thepoddoctors.com/Book Mentioned: Saving Limbs, Saving Lives: Advanced Treatments for Preventing Amputations in Diabetic Populations by Dr. Damien Dauphinee
