Abstract

This article examines the radiological changes in the hands and feet of leprosy patients with disabilities and deformities. The study, conducted in India, involved 50 leprosy patients and found that non-specific bone changes were more common than specific ones. These changes were more prevalent in females and were associated with lepromatous leprosy. The study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluations in managing leprosy and contributes to our understanding of its radiological manifestations. [Extracted from the article]
