The pathogenesis of Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) has been poorly understood by
clinicians and scientists alike. Current researchers have made progress toward
understanding the cause of CN and possible treatment options. The authors review the
current literature on the pathogenesis of this debilitating disorder and attempt to explain the
roles of inflammation, bone metabolism, and advanced glycation end products.
