Abstract

Symposium 15: Other conditions and diabetes

Rheumatological disorders

The broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions related to diabetes is variable. Next, we will describe the most frequent rheumatological manifestations:

1. Diabetic cheiroarthropathy: characterized by the loss of joint mobility, mainly of the hands, in a painless manner and with loss of functionality. The tendency is to affect the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal muscles, and less frequently the elbows, wrists, and knees. The prevalence varies in a range of 8 to 50%, more related to type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and poor glycemic control. The diagnosis is mainly clinical, with the positive “prayer” maneuver. Regarding treatment, it includes: NSAIDs, FKT and eventually decompressive surgery.
