Neuropathic arthropathy (also known as Charcot neuroarthropathy or diabetic arthropathy) refers to a progressive fragmentation of bones and joints in the presence of neuropathy. [1] It can occur in any joint where denervation is present, although it most frequently presents in the foot and ankle. [ 2 ]
Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease; Other names: Charcot–Marie–Tooth neuropathy, peroneal muscular atrophy, Dejerine-Sottas syndrome: The foot of a person with Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease: The lack of muscle, a high arch, and claw toes are signs of this genetic disease.
Neuropathic arthropathy, also known as a Charcot joint, can occur, particularly in the shoulders, in patients with syringomyelia. [8] The loss of sensory fibers to the joint is theorized to lead to degeneration of the joint over time. [9]
Charcot disease can refer to several diseases named for Jean-Martin Charcot, such as: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a degenerative muscle disease also known as Charcot disease or Lou Gehrig's disease; Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, an inherited demyelinating disease of the peripheral nervous system

Milwaukee shoulder syndrome (MSS) (apatite-associated destructive arthritis/Basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystal arthritis/rapid destructive arthritis of the shoulder) [1] is a rare [2] rheumatological condition similar to pseudogout, associated with periarticular or intra-articular deposition of hydroxyapatite or basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals.
