Osteomyelitis in diabetic foot: A comprehensive overview

Figure 1 Positive probe-to-bone test for first metatarsal head.

Figure 2 X-ray showing destruction of first metatarsal head.

Figure 3 Leucocyte scan images showing area of increased uptake strongly suggestive of osteomyelitis in left mid and hindfoot.

Figure 4 Positron emission tomography images demonstrating diffuse increased of 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake of the right foot suggestive of severe osteomyelitis.

Figure 5 Osteomyelitis of second toe (distal phalanx) revealed by magnetic resonance imaging. The arrows and the arrowhead show the bone involvement of distal phalanx (second toe).

Figure 6 Severe osteomyelitis involving midfoot, hindfoot and ankle detected by magnetic resonance imaging.
