Discovery <strong>of</strong> <strong>Charcot</strong> Joint Disease<br />
• Jean-Martin <strong>Charcot</strong>, French neurologist – in 1868 discovered<br />
a link between neurosyphilis and a particular kind <strong>of</strong> deformed<br />
joint.<br />

fracture,” but later realized it might be a chronic process<br />
related to neuropathy.
