This condition was described by Charcot, in 1868. He described it as a bizarre destruction of the knee joints with indolent swelling and instability in patients of tabes dorsalis. He proposed that the disease resulted from traumatization of a joint deprived of sensation.
Later Steindler classified the condition into the condition into the destructive, atrophic and hypertrophic proliferative forms.
Charcot-like changes in joints are seen in patients who have absence or depression of pain and proprioceptive sensation and who take part in extended continuous physical activity.
As a consequence their joints sustain repeated trauma.
