Fig. 15.6

A 56-year-old man with neuropathic osteoarthropathy of the midfoot presents with an ulceration and concern for superimposed osteomyelitis. Sagittal T1-weighted image (a) shows Charcot arthropathy involving the Lisfranc joint (arrow). Coronal T1-weighted (b), T2-weighted fat-suppressed (c), and T1-weighted fat-suppressed post-contrast images (d) of the midfoot demonstrate ulceration (arrowheads) with cellulitis and adjacent sinus tract extending to the medial cuneiform (arrows) where marrow signal alteration is consistent with superimposed osteomyelitis
