The radiological features in the bones and the angiographic changes in the vessels of the lower limbs of 15 chronic alcoholic men are discussed. The distal arteries demonstrate the features of neovascularization. Infective and resorptive changes in the bones of the forefeet are described. These features are related to chronic infection or to the toxic effects of the alcohol.
