Myopathies and Tendinopathies of the Diabetic Foot

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. 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 dreadfully high incidence worldwide. In the absence of the information in this book, the solitaire occurrence of myopathies may lead to confusion, misinterpretation, and misdiagnosis which can cause delay of management and even increased morbidity levels.
