Overview

Patients with diabetes mellitus may encounter various musculoskeletal complications. Typical manifestations can be seen in the hand, such as limited joint mobility, flexor tendon synovitis, Dupuytren’s contracture and carpal tunnel syndrome. Humeral periarthropathy is also more frequent. The most serious complications can occur in the form of diabetic foot, which may lead to severe deformities and disability. Diabetic amyotrophy and muscle infarction are more rare complications. While osteopenia has a well recognized association with type I diabetes mellitus, this probably is not true for type II. Similarly, the association between diabetes mellitus and osteoarthritis has not been proven.

Key words:
diabetes mellitus - joint manifestations - diabetic foot
