Hi, You know that Charcot Foot is not the same as CMT. Charcot Foot and CMT were discovered by Jean Martin Charcot along with a lot of other diseases such as Charcot Joint, ALS, MS, etc. He even had a hand in Parkinson's Syndrome. (Jean Martin Charcot, Pierre Marie, Howard Henry Tooth for CMT).
Lots of times Charcot Foot (Charcot Joint) are due to diabetes. That doesn't mean that you have to have diabetes. They are neuropathic osteoarthropathy which is a progressive degeneration of a weight bearing joint.
Hope you find some answers.
