Myopathies and Tendinopathies of the Diabetic Foot: Anatomy, Pathomechanics, and Imaging

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. Presents pathophysiology, pathomechanics, imaging protocols, radiological manifestations, histological characteristics, and surgical managementIncludes dedicated chapters on tendons and myotendinous junction, which are anatomical components frequently ignored in the study of musclesProvides descriptions of diabetic foot myopathies that are featured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)Includes illustrations of myopathies and tendinopathies with state-of-the-art MRI images and histological images and MR imaging protocols for myopathies INDICE: 1.
