Complex disorders of the carbohydrate metabolism and associated
complications cause many abnormalities detectable by radiography in
the bones and joints. Mild clinical symptoms associated with very
severe radiological changes were first rec ognized in relation to
the gastroenterologic complications of diabetes. This phenomenon is
more frequent in the skeletal system. For example, mild and
painless swelling of the foot joints may often mask extremely
severe bone destruction. Several other bone changes associated with
diabetes are only detectable by radiography. Thus, the radiologist
plays an important role in confirming these diabetic complications,
furthermore he is involved in the therapeutic management of the
patient. Although many details on this subject have been published,
however no summarizing monograph has yet appeared. Manuals
discussing diabetes include only short reviews on complications of
the osseous system. The fact that the incidence of diabetes is very
high, at present 1 %-2 % of the population is affected and their
number is gradually increasing - dis plays the timeliness of this
subject. Fifty years of experience with insulin therapy indicates
that several important problems still remain to be solved. Insulin
and modern oral antidia betic drugs proved extremely efficient in
the management of hyperglycemia and ketosis, but the incidence of
other complications has not decreased. Moreover, as the number of
diabetics and their life expectancy increase, late complications
become likewise more fre quent. Diabetic osteoarthropathy is one of
these complications.
