| Popis: | Aim To investigate the alterations in the plantar fascia (PF), intrinsic muscles, and tendons in the feet of patients at high risk for developing diabetic foot. Methods The healthy feet of 22 patients with type 2 diabetes, who had developed diabetic foot ulcers on a single foot without any pathology on the contralateral extremity, and those of 22 healthy volunteers were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging. The volume of the Achilles tendon (AT), the surface area of the PF, the thickness of AT, flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, tibialis posterior, and peroneus longus tendons, irregularity in the PF, and edema of intrinsic foot muscles were examined. Results Nineteen patients (86%) had irregularity in the PF, whereas none of the healthy controls had any (p Conclusion Irregularity in the PF and muscle edema may indicate a high risk for the diabetic foot. The presence of PAD may lead to regression in the structure of AT and PF. |
