(A) Photograph and (B) weight-bearing anteroposterior radiograph (B) of a patient with a nonplantigrade Charcot foot deformity. Note that he is weight-bearing on nonplantar skin of the medial foot overlying the head of the talus. The best available evidence would suggest that, over time, he will ulcerate the skin overlying the talar head—skin that is not sufficiently durable to accept weight-bearing loads. Surgical correction of this deformity is advised.
