1. Tarsal bone disintegration is a progressive disorder that affects a high proportion of leprosy patients.

2. Early detection and treatment by immobilisation permit healing with minimal deformity or disability.

3. Feet with advanced lesions can be similarly treated with a satisfactory outcome and amputation is not needed.
