    Author: Schorn D, Anderson IF.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1975 Apr 26; 49(18):752-6. PubMed ID: 1138387.
    Abstract:
    The early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis ensures a timeous prognosis and appropriate therapy for this chronic disease. The radiograph of the hand is a valuable aid in making this diagnosis, but accurate interpretation is difficult. An outline of the X-ray changes seen in the rheumatoid hand is presented, and the salient points in the differential diagnosis are outlined.
