[Osteo-articular lesions of the foot in diabetic patients. A systematic review of 1,501 radiological reports (author's transl)].

Osteo-articular changes observed in diabetic patients include diabetic osteo-arthropathy, infective osteo-arthritis, and osteo-arthrosis. A systematic review of 1,501 case-sheets demonstrated one or more bone lesions in 55% of the diabetic patients studied. There was a striking absence of the most typical lesions of the foot, probably party due to the fact that there has been an improvement in the treatment of diabetes. Osteolytic and reconstructive lesions were more common in women.
