The utility of a classification system should be threefold: accurately describe the disease process, guide the appropriate treatment, and predict the long-term prognosis. This study investigates the natural history of CN of foot and ankle, and whether the Anatomic Classification is predictive of outcome and prognosis.Methods:A retrospective review of 334 patients treated at a single institution by a single surgeon from January 1986 to June 2010 was conducted. Clinical records, imaging studies, and operative reports were reviewed to tabulate the Anatomic Classification type, patient demographics (age, gender, BMI, diabetes, RA), number and types of surgeries performed, location of surgery, initial and final job status, ulcer status, ambulatory status and shoe wear type.
