Charcot's joint of the wrist in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
In patients with diabetes mellitus, Charcot's neuroarthropathy mainly affects major weight-bearing joints, especially the foot and ankle. Remarkably, we report a case of Charcot's joint of the wrist - an unusually rare localization in type 2 diabetic patient. A review of medical literature identified only three such cases so far.
