Abstract
This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the skin with emphasis on the ankle-foot region. All aspects of the skin (anatomical layers, blood supply, and innervation) are revisited. The pathogenesis and prevalence of skin diseases associated with diabetes are analyzed. Skin ulcerations seen in Charcot neuroarthropathy (diabetic foot) are revised. Examples of skin ulcerations are provided as they are visualized on MR images.
