Diabetic pedal osteomyelitis is primarily a manifestation of vascular insufficiency with resultant tissue ischemia, neuropathy, and infection. Nearly all cases of pedal osteomyelitis arise from a contiguous ulcer and soft tissue infection. MR imaging is the modality of choice to assess for the presence of osteomyelitis and associated soft tissue complications, to guide patient management, and to aid in limited limb resection.
