- A growing number of diabetics are being diagnosed with a debilitating foot deformity called Charcot foot. Charcot foot often confines patients to wheelchairs for mobility, and in severe cases can require amputation. A surgery performed by orthopaedic surgeon Michael S. Pinzur, MD, enables patients such as Richard Hamiel, Jr. to walk normally again. The technique secures foot bones with an external frame made of stainless steel and aircraft-grade aluminum.

Wow so educational 👍🏻
How long did it take from surgery to be able to join everyone fishing and walking?
Thank you for the reply. I'll get all your information and I'll talk with my wife who is a RN at Orange Park Medical here at Orange Park Florida in Jacksonville. I'm looking at sometime next year to have this surgery redone. Thank you so much for the info.
This guy needs diet intervention or he will still loose that foot. He needs to loose about 200 pounds.
Where is this doctor located at? I had this done but the doc that did it rushed through it and it was a bust. Another doc told me that the doc that did this to me should of used a titanium rod from the front of my foot and into my ankle. All of my bones are still in my foot.I want this redone, can this doctor help me? My foot is not deformed like most cases. My arch is collapsed.I need help, this is killing me.

By losing weight would the foot correct itself or no ???

@lindaanne60 I was told if I lose weight it would take that Extra weight that I'm putting on my feet And the Bone will heal and I could correct the deformity with corrective surgery but you telling me it wouldn't Be possible i hope I could because charcot foots fucking sucks

Hello again. I'm not sure if you already have a doctor, but I could check with our specialists to see if they know of any colleagues they could recommend in the Bay area. -Keisha
Loyola Medicine thank you very much

Poor man but why don't they tell him the obvious - he needs to make other lifestyle choices or he will lose that foot anyway.
Pretty much guarantee they did.
