Synopsis:
Myopathies and Tendinopathies of the Diabetic Foot: Anatomy, Pathomechanics, and Imaging is a unique reference of valuable instructive data that re-enforces 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. The book serves as a classic academic reference for educators, health care specialists, health care givers and health care students.

  • Presents pathophysiology, pathomechanics, imaging protocols, radiological manifestations, histological characteristics, and surgical management
  • Includes dedicated chapters on tendons and myotendinous junction which are anatomical components frequently ignored in the study of muscles
  • Descriptions of diabetic foot myopathies are featured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Illustrations of myopathies and tendinopathies with state-of-the-art MRI images and histological images, MR imaging protocols for myopathies
  • Anatomical descriptions of all intrinsic and extrinsic muscles
  • Detailed information on biomechanics of these muscles
