Overview
Although plain X ray is not successful in osteomyelitis diagnosis within the first weeks of involvement, it is recommended to be performed in any diabetic foot patients with a deep or enduring ulcer. X-rays of the diabetic foot can be helpful in detecting foreign bodies, gas, joint effusion and osteolysis.
X Ray
- Although plain X ray is not successful in osteomyelitis diagnosis within the first weeks of involvement, it is recommended to be performed in any diabetic foot patients with a deep or enduring ulcer.[1][2][3]
- X-ray only will show altered bone findings when 40-70% bone resorption has been occurred.[4]
- When osteomyelitis is highly suspected clinically, negative X-ray can not exclude osteomyelitis.[1]
- X-rays of the diabetic foot can be helpful in detecting foreign bodies, gas, joint effusion and osteolysis. [2]
