Most clinicians consider a peripheral nerve lesion in patients with drop foot. However, causes stemming from the central nervous system represent rare, important, and underappreciated differential etiologies. Central causative lesions usually occur at locations where pyramidal tract connections are condensed and specific and the function is somatotopically organized. Here we report case presenting as central foot drop or spastic foot-drop and other myriad clinical features which after investigations was found due to bilateral parasagittal meningiomas.

Neuropathic osteoarthropathy, i.e., Charcot's joint, has not previously been reported as a sequela of elective foot surgery. The authors present a challenging case of a patient with long-standing diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy who developed neuropathic osteoarthropathy after a Keller arthroplasty for a recalcitrant hallux ulcer. The radiographic findings, diagnostic tests, and histopathology are discussed. Finally, the authors offer suggestions for surgeons contemplating a Keller arthroplasty for patients with peripheral neuropathy.

Keratoma is a very rare condition, but if occurs often results in lameness in a horse. Despite its rarity, it is one of the most common reasons to perform foot surgery, because the surgery is the only effective treatment. In this case report diagnosis was based on radiographs of the foot and histopathological findings. There was a repeated debridement of the keratoma performed in the patient. After all the keratoma was removed the mare showed no more lameness.

Diabetic Charcot foot is characterized by varying degrees of bone and joint disorganization secondary to underlying neuropathy, perturbations of bone metabolism and trauma. Offloading is the most important initial treatment recommendation. Surgery can be helpful in early stages involving acute fractures of the foot or ankle or in later stages when offloading is ineffective. Incorrect diagnosis and improper treatment often result in the extremity having to be amputated.     There are several surgical procedures accepted in Charcot foot surgery. Their goal is to obtain a plantigrade foot and prevent recurrent ulcerations. Arthrodesis is a well-known surgical procedure that addresses severe joint derangement through a surgically induced bony fusion. In Charcot foot, arthrodesis is usually indicated when there is significant skeletal instability. This procedure can be done by internal or external fixation.
