Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a complex group of motor and sensory disorders presenting with varying levels of deformity dependent on the chronology and specific subgroup of the disease. In this report, we discuss a 19-year-old man with Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A, a progressive and aggressive form of hereditary sensorimotor neuropathy, with rigid forefoot and rearfoot deformity. The authors discuss the etiology, tests, and sequential surgical management of this condition, focusing on a triple arthrodesis including a closingwedge subtalar joint fusion and a dorsal closing wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal.
