Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-Ninety-three obese patients with T2DM and forty-two obese subjects without any metabolic disturbances as control were evaluated with lateral calcaneal x-ray in blinded fashion by a radiologist. All participants were informed and written consents have been obtained. Control cases were subjected to 75g glucose challenge test and glucose intolerant subjects were excluded.
RESULTS-T2DM and control groups were statistically similar in mean age (59±10.5 vs. 55±8 yrs, P=0.196, respectively) and mean body mass index (BMI)(35.1±4.3 vs. 33.1±3.3 kg/m2, P=0.073, respectively). Existence of calcaneal spur was 72% in 93 patients (77%) in T2DM group and 24 in 42 (57%) in control group. Groups were significantly different according to existence of CS (P=0.023). Mean age and mean BMI were significantly higher in diabetic patients with calcaneal spur than diabetic patients without calcaneal spur (p=0.001 and p=0.015, respectively). There was positive correlation between existence of calcaneal spur and peripheral neuropathy (p=0,043) in diabetics but no significant relation between existence of CS and glycolysed hemoglobin levels or diabetes duration (all P\>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS-Clinicians should pay attention the increased incidence of CS in patients with T2DM to avoid foot complications.
