  • Myopathies and Tendinopathies of the Diabetic Foot

    Anatomy, Pathomechanics, and Imaging
    • 1st Edition
    • Claude Pierre-Jerome
    • English
    Myopathies and Tendinopathies of the Diabetic Foot: Anatomy, Pathomechanics, and Imaging is a unique reference of valuable instructive data that reinforces the understanding of myopathies and tendinopathies related to diabetes-induced Charcot foot. Diabetic myopathies usually precede other complications (i.e., deformity, ulceration, infection) seen in the diabetic foot. Oftentimes, these myopathies may be isolated especially during their initial stage. In the absence of clinical information relevant to diabetes, the solitaire occurrence of myopathies may lead to confusion, misinterpretation, and misdiagnosis. The misdiagnosis can cause delay of management and consequent high morbidity. This book emphasizes the complications of diabetic myopathies and tendinopathies and all their aspects, including pathophysiology, pathomechanics, imaging protocols, radiological manifestations, histological characteristics, and surgical management.Diabetes type II and its complications (diabetic myopathies and tendinopathies) have reached a dreadful high incidence worldwide. Likewise, the need for better understanding of these complications becomes indispensable. In this book, the readers of all genres will find all they need to know about these conditions. This book serves as a classic academic reference for educators, healthcare specialists, healthcare givers, and healthcare students.
