Stages
- Prodromal: warmth and erythema with foot instability
- Acute: destruction following minor trauma, with bone fragmentation and joint dislocation/subluxation; interventions at this stage have the greatest effect
- Subacute: lessening edema and healing of fractures
- Chronic: bone remodelling with definite x-ray evidence of deformity
