Pathophysiology of the Foot in Diabetes An Endocrinologist’s Perspective R. Harsha Rao, MD, FRCP Professor of Medicine University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Chief of Endocrinology, VA Pittsburgh

Overview/Objectives The Foot as a Mechanical Marvel Structural, and ergonomic complexity Pedal Bio-mechanics The Menace posed by Diabetes Pathophysiology of the “Foot at Risk”

The Foot: A Mechanical Marvel 26 bones, 29 joints, 42 intrinsic muscles Multitude of tendons and ligaments Designed to support full weight of the body over a lifetime… Across 75-100,000 miles 3-4 times around the world!

The Structure of the Foot Lateral Longitudinal Arch Fifth Metatarsal Calcaneus First Metatarsal Medial Longitudinal Arch Transverse Arch

Prerequisites for Pedal Integrity Arch Integrity Ligaments/Tendons holding Bones and Joints in place Intrinsic muscles/Long tendons as “shock absorbers” Intact Stretch Reflex Intrinsic muscles and ligaments responsive to stretch Intact nerves for coordinated muscular contraction Preserved Blood Supply Perfusion despite repetitive de-vascularization (pressure) Intact skin To resist repetitive pressure/devascularization To resist infection (and heal quickly)

Overview/Objectives The Foot as a Mechanical Marvel Structural, and ergonomic complexity Pedal Bio-mechanics The Menace posed by Diabetes Pathophysiology of the “Foot at Risk”

Diabetes and the Foot Diabetes is the #1 cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in US 15- to 40-fold more likely in diabetes 60,000-80,000 limbs lost/year (~200/day) Other leg lost within 5 yrs in 50% of patients Foot problems are responsible for 10% of hospitalizations in diabetic patients 25% of all hospital days

The Diabetic Foot Defined as a foot with any pathology that results directly from diabetes mellitus or any of its long-term complications The presence of several characteristic diabetic foot pathologies is sometimes referred to as the “diabetic foot syndrome”

Pathogenesis of the Diabetic Foot Diabetic neuropathy Diabetic vasculopathy Atherosclerotic large vessel disease Predilection for infections Impaired immunity Impaired wound healing

Neuropathy in the Diabetic Foot Peripheral neuropathy Loss of protective sensation leading to Painless trauma from Unsuspected foreign body in shoe Sharp objects (barefoot gait, pile carpet!) Ill-fitting shoes Repetitive stress of walking Loss of proprioception and stretch reflexes Abnormal joint and position sense Abnormal small joint adaptation during walking Abnormal pressure points, with corns/calluses Loss of motor function Interosseous/lumbrical atrophy (cocked-up toes) 1. Peripheral neuropathy Loss of sensation leading to painless trauma from Unsuspected foreign body in shoe Treading on sharp objects (barefoot gait, deep pile carpet!) Ill-fitting shoes Repetitive stress of walking Loss of motor function Interosseous atrophy leading to cocked-up toes Loss of proprioception and stretch reflexes Abnormal joint and position sense Abnormal small joint adaptation during walking

Pathogenesis of the Diabetic Foot Diabetic neuropathy Diabetic vasculopathy Atherosclerotic large vessel disease Predilection for infections Impaired immunity Impaired wound healing Diabetic neuropathy Diabetic vasculopathy Atherosclerotic large vessel disease Predilection for infections Impaired immunity Impaired wound healing

Pathogenesis of Diabetic Wounds PAD + Neuropathy 50% 2/3 1/3 50% PAD only Neuropathic Ischemic

Interplay of Neuropathy and PAD Arterial Insufficiency Worsens nerve ischemia Exacerbates neuropathy Diabetic Foot Wounds Neuropathy “Auto-sympathectomy” Cutaneous Vascular Diversion

Pathogenesis of the Diabetic Foot Diabetic neuropathy Diabetic vasculopathy Atherosclerotic large vessel disease Predilection for infections Impaired immunity Impaired wound healing Diabetic neuropathy Diabetic vasculopathy Atherosclerotic large vessel disease Predilection for infections Impaired immunity Impaired wound healing

Predilection for infections Hyperglycemia Impairs Neutrophil function Adhesion, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, bacterial kill Impairs cytokine production Impairs immunoglobulin response Impairs immunoglubulin action (glycosylation) Impairs inflammatory cell activation Increases pathogenic colonization (bacterial, candidal)

Lower Extremity Infections in Diabetes Cellulitis Deep soft tissue infection Bone Infection Osteomyelitis

Cellulitis

Deep Soft Tissue Infection Patient is often acutely ill Wound discharge usually not present Possible compartment syndrome May be gas in tissue Mixed aerobic/anerobic infection (common) Gas gangrene (rare)

Pathogenesis Diabetic neuropathy Diabetic vasculopathy Atherosclerotic large vessel disease Predilection for infections Impaired immunity Impaired wound healing Diabetic neuropathy Diabetic vasculopathy Atherosclerotic large vessel disease Predilection for infections Impaired immunity Impaired wound healing

Impaired Wound Healing Reduced tensile strength of wounds Defective matrix production/deposition Advanced glycation and cross-linking of matrix protein Diminished cutaneous perfusion Peripheral Arterial Disease Autonomic neuropathy Aberrant growth factor expression Delayed replication and excess cell death in vascular endothelial cells Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)

The Pathology of the Diabetic Foot…  Arch integrity maintained by ligaments holding bones and joints together Arch support from coordinated action of intrinsic muscles and long tendons (“shock absorber”) Intrinsic muscles and ligaments responsive to stretch Intact nerves to coordinate muscular action and mediate the stretch reflex Good blood supply to perfuse tissues compressed by repetitive pressure Intact, healthy skin, able to resist repetitive pressure, heal quickly (and resist infection)     

An Ode to the Diabetic Foot Decreased feeling, Delayed healing Fungus carrier, defective skin barrier Sugar high, bugs multiply Poor blood supply, And feet go ‘bye-bye’! Harsha Rao
