10.1 Diabetic Hand and Diabetic Foot
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that arises due to insulin de ciency (type 1 DM) or insulin recep­tor insensitivity (type 2 DM). Type 2 DM is more common than type 1.
Diabetic complications arise due to cellular ischemia, angiopathy, peripheral neuropathy, osteopathy, infections, skin changes, and atherosclerosis.  e hands and feet are uncommonly a ected in diabetes, but when they are a ected, it may be severe enough to cost the patient loss of a limb.
Radiology o ers great tools for early detection of dia­betic complications by ultrasound and MRI.For diabetic foot screening, a Doppler scan is performed to detect arte­rial  ow anomalies. If the Doppler scan shows abnormalities in the vessels, MRI can be done to detect hidden signs of diabetic foot complications. Adults with long-term DM should be annually examined for lower limb vascular abnor­malities.
Diabetic Angiopathy
Diabetic angiopathy is divided into two types: microangiopa­thy and macroangiopathy. Microangiopathy arises due to chronic hyperglycemia that impairs the walls of the microves­sels, causing leakage of exudates and blood. Later, these exu­dates may lead to obstruction of the microvessels causing ischemia.  is type is typically seen in diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy. Macroangiopathy, on the other hand, damages the arterial vessels due to atherosclerosis a ecting the coronary, cerebral, and lower limb vessels. Arteriosclerosis occurs 10 years earlier in diabetics than in normal people.
Chronic limb ischemia and compromised vascular sup­ply can lead to tissue necrosis and dry gangrene.  is is o en complicated by bacterial infection that may cause wet gangrene; this scenario is o en seen in the feet. Amputation is the tragic end of severe limb osteomyelitis, extensive lower limb calci cations, and uncontrolled diabetes that suppresses the immune system. Within 2 years of amputa­tion of one leg, the other leg has a 50 % chance of complica­tions that might lead to a 50 % chance of contralateral amputation.
Gangrene can be divided into dry, wet, and infected. Dry gangrene arises due to an occluded artery with a patent vein; tissue liquefaction occurs at a very slow rate. It is seen in senile gangrene (due to atherosclerosis and vascular sta­sis) and Buerger’s disease (thromboangiitis obliterans). Senile gangrene is seen in 50 % of elderly patients wearing tight shoes and commonly a ects the big toe. Wet gangrene arises due to an occluded artery and vein, with rapid tissue liquefaction and sever toxemia.  is type is classically seen in DM, crush injuries (accidents), and bedsores. Infected gangrene arises due to bacterial infection and is typically
seen in lung abscess, necrotizing fasciitis, synergistic gan­grene, and gas gangrene (due to muscular lesion with anaerobic fermentation of the tissues with Clostridium dif-  cile ).
As previously mentioned, patients with gangrene are treated by amputation of the gangrenous part of the lower extremity, which can be above or below the knee, depending on the extension of the compromised vascular supply.  e amputee may develop stump pain a er surgery, which can be attributed to stump infection, in ammation, impaired vascu­lature, or development of neuromas. A neuroma is a focal, nodular, noncapsulated so -tissue mass that forms at the dis­tal segment of peripheral nerves a er surgery or traumatic avulsion injury. Schwann cells regenerate the peripheral ner­vous system axons and myelin sheath a er trauma. In an amputated limb, regeneration of the nerve axon is unstop­pable, because there is no distal end pathway for the regener­ated nerve axon to fuse with, resulting in aggregation of the Schwann cells at the stump end, forming a mass of nerve tis­sue. Postamputation neuromas are usually multiple and may appear 1 month a er amputation. Patients typically present with stump pain, usually in the absence of in ammation or stump infection.
Signs on Radiographs
Calcifi cation of pedal vessels occurs in 24 % of diabetic
patients, and it is seen radiologically as classic “tramline”
or “pipestem” calcifi cation (

Signs on MRI
Postamputation neuromas are detected as ovoid, bulbous, or rounded soft-tissue mass expansions at the end of a proximally transected nerve (e.g., peroneal nerve in above-knee amputation) that classically measure 1–2 cm in diameter. The mass shows low T1 and moderately high T2 signal intensity, with a characteristic dark rim seen on both T1W and T2W images due to focal fi brous tissue condensation around the neuroma.
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, Osteopathy, and Infections
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy o en a ects both hands and feet in a bilateral symmetrical fashion ( glove and stocking phenomenon ). Loss of the deep knee tendon re ex is the ear­liest sign of diabetic neuropathy, even before any sensory or motor disturbances manifest. Diabetic neuropathy is attrib­uted to metabolic abnormalities a ecting Schwann cells, the myelin-forming cells of the peripheral nervous system.
In the neuropathic diabetic foot, sympathetic denervation is the main pathological injury. Somatic and autonomic dener­vation causes numbness and loss of heat and pain sensation, along with reduction in the sensation of touch and vibration. Sympathetic denervation causes arteriovenous shunts within hands and feet, causing abnormal increase in the venous  ow within the limbs. Moreover, the intracutaneous pressure causes the development of calci cation within the medial layer of the arterial vascular wall ( Monckeberg ’ s sclerosis ).
 ere are two types of neuroarthropathies in DM: atrophic and hypertrophic ( Charcot ’ s joint ). Atrophic neuroarthropathy is characterized by osteoporosis, bone resorption, and disloca­tion. In contrast, Charcot’s joint is characterized by the 5Ds: d is- tention, d islocation, d isorganization, d ebris, and increased bone d ensity. In the absence of diabetes, atrophic neuroarthropathy is commonly caused by syrinx in the cervical spine, while Charcot’s joint is commonly caused by neurosyphilis of the posterior col­umns of the spinal cord ( tabes dorsalis ). A syrinx is also the com- monest cause of Charcot’s joint of the shoulder.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy a ects 10–15 % of patients, and it can be di use or focal.  e di use form presents in the form of bilateral, symmetrical denervation and sensory de cits of the hands and feet (glove and stock­ing phenomenon). In contrast, the focal form presents in the form of “mononeuritis,” commonly a ecting the cranial nerves CN III, CN IV, CN VI, and CN VII.Involvement of both sympathetic and sensory  bers leads to mechanical overuse, loss of the protective joint pain, proprioceptive sensation, and active hyperemia due to loss of vasoconstric­tive neural impulses, which all result in atrophic neuroar­thropathy. In contrast, sensory  ber denervation in the absence of sympathetic  ber involvement results in the development of Charcot’s joint.  e atrophic joint tends to involve the forefoot, while Charcot’s joint tends to a ect the mid- or hindfoot.
Diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy ( DLRPN ),
also known as Bruns – Garland syndrome , is an uncommon condition, characterized by asymmetric lower extremity pain, weakness, and muscle atrophy commonly a ecting the thigh muscles.  e mechanism of injury is thought to be a result of microvasculitis and resultant ischemic injury to the sacral plexus and/or peripheral nerves. Patients with DLRPN are commonly between 46 and 71 years of age, o en presenting with acute or subacute onset of severe asymmetric lower limb pain and paresthesia involving the anterolateral thigh region.  e pain is described as aching and burning and tends to be worse at night or in contact with cloths or bed sheets (contact allodynia). DLRPN pain is usually followed by limb weakness, evolving over weeks or months, and commonly a ects the quadriceps and iliopsoas muscles. Wasting of the quadriceps muscle and absence or reduction in the knee jerk re ex are classic features. DLRPN is commonly preceded by unintentional weight loss. Laboratory  ndings in DLRPN include high erythrocytes sedimentation rate, occasional positive rheumatoid factor (RF) and antinuclear antibody (ANA), and elevated cerebrospinal  uid protein content.
Osteomyelitis occurs in up to 90 % of cases in the diabetic foot, due to neurotropic pedal ulcers. Diabetic ulcers tend to occur at the sites of pressure over bony or joint protuberance (e.g., metatarsal heads or the calcaneus).
 e diabetic foot can be rarely associated with tarsal tunnel syndrome. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a condition characterized by entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve as it passes beneath the  exor retinaculum.  e condition is analogous to carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrists. Patients o en present with a burning sensation and paresthesia in the toes, sole of the foot, or medial heel, aggravated by weight bearing.
Uncommonly, Freiberg’s disease may arise in patients with diabetic foot. Freiberg ’ s disease is a disease characterized by infarction of the metatarsal heads.  e disease typically develops 3–4 times more frequently in women than men, during late childhood or adolescence. Patients present clini­cally in the acute phase with local foot pain with tenderness, con ned to the area of the metatarsal heads. In the chronic phase, which is characterized by osteonecrosis and repair, patients are typically asymptomatic.

Diabetic Myonecrosis
Diabetic myonecrosis is a rare complication of diabetes, characterized by muscle infarction. Most patient a ected with diabetic myonecrosis are patients with type 1 DM (74 %) and type 2 DM (26 %) or patients with prolonged poorly con­trolled diabetes. Diabetic myonecrosis occurs in association with diabetic retinopathy (60 %), nephropathy (80 %), or neuropathy (64 %). It almost always occurs in the lower extremities and o en a ects the quadriceps muscles.
Patients with diabetic myonecrosis commonly present with a painful limb, swelling, and resting pain that is aggra­vated by walking. If one limb is a ected by diabetic myone­crosis, the contralateral limb may be involved up to 2 years a er the initial manifestation.
 e main di erential diagnosis of diabetic myonecrosis includes deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pyomyositis. DVT can be ruled out by Doppler sonography. Pyomyositis is a severe muscle infection with formation of an intramuscular abscess. In 90 % of cases, it is caused by Staphylococcus . In contrast, diabetic myonecrosis does not show positive culture of Staphylococcus , because it is mostly caused by ischemia and infarction rather than infection.
Signs on MRI
The aff ected muscle shows extensive edema and
swelling, with high signal intensity on T2W images
involving the muscle and the subcutaneous tissues.
Diabetic Skin Changes and Infections
Sudeck’s atrophy ( shoulder – hand disease ). Sudeck’s atrophy is a disease characterized by osteoporosis and swelling in one limb, especially the ankles, wrists, and elbows, a er a minor trauma. It results from abnormal sympathetic innervations and secondary vascular changes a er minor trauma and typ­ically a ects the distal part of a limb below the trauma.
Tropical diabetic hand syndrome , a terminology used to
describe a speci c infection of the hands in diabetics, usually occurs in tropical areas and is characterized by progressive synergistic gangrene ( Meleney ’ s gangrene ) of the hand fol- lowing minor trauma.  e cause of this syndrome is a pro­gressively severe form of cellulitis caused by multibacterial infection, usually a er a history of minor trauma or a scratch (
. Fig. 10.1.6 ).
Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum ( NLD ) is a rare,
degenerative, granulomatous skin disease that o en a ects the lower extremities in diabetic patients (0.3 % of diabetics). Lesions are red papules or oval plaques that grow peripher­ally and become atrophic and yellowish at the center, with elevated and erythematous edges (. Fig. 10.1.7 ). With time, these lesions become more brownish-yellow, telangiectatic, and porcelain-like. In most cases they are bilateral. Ulceration, the most common complication of NLD (35 %), usually arises a er a minor trauma. Lesions in NLD are granuloma­tous, mainly a ecting the subcutaneous tissues and the dermis, and the epidermis is o en normal or atrophic. NLD is classically found in young Caucasian diabetic patients, with female predominance (80 %); however, it may occur also with sarcoidosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and in ammatory bowel disease.
When normal skin is stroked with a dull object, it rises and
swells to assume the shape of the stroke, due to edema and
Diabetic hand lesions are not as common as diabetic foot lesions, perhaps due to the stress load on the feet compared to the hands.  e main lesions of the hands in diabetes are related to dermatological diseases rather than neuro­osteopathic diseases such as those of the feet.
Diabetic dermopathy is characterized by the formation of multiple skin thickening on the back of the  ngers ( nger pebbles), scleroderma-like skin and sti joints of the  ngers and dorsum of the hand, and brown atrophic macules over the shin. Acanthosis nigricans is hyperpigmentation and velvety brown thickening of the major skin  exures, which is o en seen with type 2 DM and obese patients.
Diabetic hand syndrome refers to a condition of neuropathy denervation of the hand. It is characterized by intrinsic wasting of the hand muscles and atrophy of the pal­mar tissues, with  exion contractures of the  ngers that may mimic Dupuytren’s contracture. Patients with diabetic hand syndrome o en complain of carpal tunnel syndrome , with paresthesia in the palmar distribution of the median nerve (the  rst three  ngers) and positive Tinel ’ s sign (pain and par- esthesia initiated in the palmar sensory distribution of the median nerve by tapping over the palmar aspect of the wrist). Moreover, sever neuropathic denervation may lead to

local erythema. In rare situations, exaggeration of this response may be seen in diabetic patients, a condition known as derma- tographism ( mechanical urticaria ). Skin stroke erythema in normal skin develops and subsides in less than 5–10min, whereas in dermatographism, it can last up to 30min.
Fourniers gangrene , also known as necrotizing fasciitis of
the scrotum, is a medical emergency that is characterized by rapidly progressing gangrene of the penis and scrotum, usually in diabetic males aged 50–70 years. Fournier’s gangrene is commonly seen a er perineal trauma, urinary tract infection, or urological surgical procedures. Fournier’s gangrene is initi­ated by perianal, perirectal, and ischiorectal abscesses,  ssures, or urinary extravasation. Systemic  ndings include leukocyto­sis, fever, hypoglycemia, tachycardia, and dehydration.
 e skin of the back of the neck is surrounded by tough deep fascia that attaches to the epidermis layer by  brous bands, creating separated compartments. In diabetics, subcu­taneous infection on the back of the neck is localized by these  brous bands laterally and inferiorly, forcing the abscess to spread to the surface via a sinus. Multiple intercommunicating abscesses that open into the surface via multiple sinuses in dia­betic patient is a special type of abscess called “ carbuncle .”
Signs on Plain Radiographs
Changes in the hand due to Sudeck’s atrophy are
typically seen as severe osteoporosis, which occurs at the
ends of all the phalanges and up to 70 % of metatarsal
heads (
. Fig. 10.1.8 ). Pseudoperiostitis may be seen as
striation of the cortices due to new bone formation.
Severe subluxation of the phalangeal joints may occur
later in the course of the disease.

5 Carpal tunnel syndrome can be diagnosed with
wrist ultrasound by identifying the nerve below the flexor retinaculum. Diagnosis of nerve entrapment is achieved when the nerve transverse diameter exceeds 10 mm due to edema or when the nerve fails to return to its normal position when performing the flexion pinch maneuver (
. Fig. 10.1.9 ).

The Role of Doppler Sonography in DM
Doppler sonography is used to detect stenosis within the arterial system of the lower extremities. Arteriosclerosis is the most common cause of arterial stenosis with the forma­tion of atheromas and calcium plaques within the arterial walls. Analysis of the Doppler wave spectrum is essential to detect the hemodynamic abnormalities of circulation in the lower limbs. Di erent spectral waves are observed, according to the degree of stenosis.
