    AbstractMedial column fixation for rocker-bottom deformity in Charcot arthropathy is commonly performed. However, implant failure is commonly encountered because of uncontrolled weight bearing by the patient. The aim of this case report is to describe the use of a large solid bolt for fusion of the medial column of the foot in a patient with collapse of the midfoot due to diabetic neuroarthropathy.Copyright © 2012 American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
