Abstract: Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) can be a challenging management problem. When advanced, it requires making decisions regarding complex salvage surgeries with extended convalescence versus leg amputations. It is essential to make informed decisions to attempt limb salvage versus proceeding to earlyon amputation of a limb for patients with CN. This article presents three scoring tools to facilitate making salvage versus leg amputation decisions for CN using objective criteria.
