Neuropathic arthropathy (Charcot's joint) is a relatively painless, progressive and degenerative condition due to underlying neurologic deficits. Although a variety of neurologic disorders may produce this arthropathy, diabetes mellitus has become the most common cause. In diabetes, the foot and ankle are the sites most often involved, particularly the tarsometatarsal and tarsal joints. In addition to neuropathy, trauma is an essential factor in producing the arthropathy.
神经性关节病（夏科关节）是一种由于潜在神经功能缺损导致的相对无痛、进行性和退行性疾病。尽管多种神经系统疾病可能导致这种关节病，但糖尿病已成为最常见的病因。在糖尿病患者中，足和踝关节是最常受累的部位，尤其是跗跖关节和跗骨间关节。除了神经病变外，创伤是导致关节病的一个重要因素。
