A Charcot joint (also known as a neurotrophic joint) refers to a progressive degenerative / destructive joint disorder in patients with abnormal pain sensation and proprioception.
The radiographic features of a Charcot joint can be remembered by remembering 6 Ds:
1. Increased Density (Subchondral sclerosis)
2. Destruction
3. Debris (Intra-articular loose bodies)
4. Dislocation
5. Distention
6. Disorganization
