Abstract
Herein, we illustrate an operative technique to attain limb salvage after a failed intramedullary nail in the diabetic Charcot neuropathic patient. The use of the blade plate, or T-plate, in combination with external fixation, fastened into the body of the calcaneus allows for greater bone capture. Our experience has shown that this provides for a stable, long-lasting construct.
