La diabetes mellitus (DBT) es un desorden metabólico producto de una deficiencia absoluta o relativa de insulina. Este trastorno tiene consecuencias de importancia en varios órganos y sistemas del cuerpo. Es bien conocido que la DBT está asociada con una cantidad de manifestaciones cutáneas y osteoarticulares. La más común de estas características afecta al pie (síndrome de pie diabético); sin embargo, similares lesiones se pueden observar en la mano (síndrome de mano diabética), generalmente asociadas a una larga evolución de la enfermedad, malos controles glicémicos y complicaciones microvasculares. En este artículo se realiza una revisión de la literatura para actualizar el diagnóstico y la terapéutica de manifestaciones musculo-esqueléticas en la mano de pacientes con DBT: movilidad articular limitada, contractura de Dupuytren, tenosinovitis del flexor (dedo en gatillo), infección por síndrome de mano diabética tropical, ulceración neuropática periférica, síndrome del túnel carpiano, neuropatía cubital y neuropatía en piel y uñas.
Diabetes mellitus (DBT) is a metabolic disorder caused by absolute or relative deficiency of insulin. This disorder has importance consequences in various organs and systems. It is well known that DBT is associated with cutaneous and osteoarticular manifestations; the most common of these complications affects the foot (diabetic foot syndrome). However, similar lesions can be observed in the hand (diabetic hand syndrome), usually associated with long standing disease, poor glycemic control and microvascular complications. This article makes a review of the literature to update diagnosis and therapy ofmusculoskeletal manifestations in patients with diabetic hand syndrome: limited joint mobility, Dupuytrens contracture, trigger finger, tropical diabetic hand, peripheral neuropathic ulceration, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital neuropathy, and skin and nail changes.
