Charcot osteoarthropathy is a debilitating disease associated with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus that has multiple orthopedic complications. Severe degenerative foot and ankle changes have been cited in the literature and remain a challenging pathology for treatment. A 61 year old female with severe Charcot osteoarthropathy to the left tibiotalar and subtalar joints treated successfully with a minimally invasive tibiotalocalcaneal hindfoot fusion nail construct. While multiple stabilization techniques exist to include cross screws, plates, and intramedullary devices, hindfoot nailing systems offer a technique with minimal periosteal stripping and soft tissue dissection. Tibiotalocalcaneal hindfoot fusion nails show promise to fast post-operative return to activities of daily living.
