Most bone abnormalieis seen in serial films of the feet in leprosy were static being the end result of old disease. Changes over a period of time were observed in serial fims of 214 feet and these changes were due to a combination of infection, neuropathic changes and avascular necrosis occurring in anaesthetic feet. The bone abnormalities seen were absorption of toes and metatarsals; bone destruction; a neuropathic arthropathy of toes and metatarsals and various patterns of tarsal disintegration.
