Resumen (ES)

We present a case of multiple neuropathic arthropaty in a 35 year-old male with a grave and poorly controlled mellitus diabetes Type I, of long duration. The arthropaty began at age 30 with a spontaneous fracture of the neck of the talus and fracture of the medial maleolo following a slight trauma of the ankle. Four and a half years later he presented a spontaneous fracture of the contralateral calcaneous, and three months later a fracture of the internal tibial plateau of the left knee. The authors analyze the risk factors for developing a severe neuropathic arthropaty, as well as the most appropriate treatment.
