"There are several classification systems used to classify Charcot arthropathy. The Eichenholtz classification of Charcot arthropathy is one such classification and uses a temporal-based approach 1. Another classification system is the Brodsky classification, which uses an anatomical approach 1. Both classification systems have significantly changed the approach and management of Charcot arthropathy 2."
"Brodsky's classification, on the other hand, relies heavily on the anatomical distribution of the deformity. Although many anatomical classifications of Charcot have been devised, Brodsky's classification remains one of the most widely used 1. Because both have limitations on their own, Eichenholtz and modified Brodsky's classification are used concurrently to facilitate Charcot arthropathy management 1."

"The American orthopaedic surgeon Sidney N. Eichenholtz identified clinical, radiographic and pathologic differences in Charcot arthropathy and published the classification in 1966, which consisted of three stages initially. The "prodromal" stage was added later by the Japanese T Shibata and colleagues 4."
"New bone formation begins in this stage and there are reduced clinical findings; periarticular debris is absorbed and larger bone fragments form calluses 1:"
