Charcot Marie tooth Disease "CMT", also known as Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy or "HMSN" is a genetic condition that creates a loss of nerve function and as a result muscles in the foot start to change and become unbalanced. Charcot Marie tooth Disease is progressive and tends to create increasing deformity over time. If the deformities become severe, then surgical treatment can be very helpful to slow down the progress and reverse some of the changes that have occured. This can include a combination of, releases of tendons, transfers of tendons and also bone cuts, that help bones to shift into a better position. Healing time can be between six weeks and sometimes up to three to four months before it is resolved. However, almost universally, patients who have appropriately selected surgeries for Charcot Marie tooth Disease become significantly better.
