Abstract
Charcot neuroarthropathy involving foot is a frequent and potentially a devastating complication of diabetes. In addition to good control of diabetes, surgical shoes and regular podiatric treatment, correction of foot deformity to prevent ulceration, deep infection and limb loss are now well established. Vascular insufficiency is common in this group of patients and traditional revascularisation procedures do not always succeed in healing ulcers and treating critical ischaemia. It compromises wound and bone healing. We report successful use of a modified technique of tibial cortex transverse transport (TTT) in a case where traditional revascularisation methods failed to correct critical ischaemia. We have achieved successful soft tissue and bone healing using this technique.

期刊介绍:
Strategies in Trauma and Limb Reconstruction is dedicated to surgeons, allied medical professionals and researchers in the field of orthopaedics and trauma. The scope of the journal is to discuss the fields of skeletal injury, and the complications thereof, congenital and acquired limb deformities and deficiencies, and orthopaedic-related infection, together with their surgical and non-surgical treatments. The journal publishes original articles, reviews, case reports, descriptions of new or recognised treatment techniques, forum discussions of clinical scenarios and relevant correspondence. It aims to provide a widely accessible source of useful information to practitioners in the field through the problem- or technique-based approach of published articles.
