Abstract
Neuropathic arthropathy (Charcot joints), which most frequently affects the weight-bearing joints of the body, is commonly associated with a variety of medical and neurological conditions, and is notoriously difficult to treat due to the nature of the underlying pathology. We present a case of idiopathic neuropathic arthropathy of the thumb CMC joint of an elderly female complicated by blunt trauma to the thumb. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of this rare association.
