  • Title: Joint changes in idiopathic hemochromatosis.
    Author: Twersky J.
    Journal: Am J Roentgenol Radium Ther Nucl Med; 1975 May; 124(1):139-44. PubMed ID: 1147157.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis and a distinctive arthropathy are presented. The joint findings are characterized by joint narrowing, prominent osteophytes, subcondral sclerosis and multiple lucent subchondral cysts, and chondrocalcinosis. The etiology of this arthropathy and its relationship to chondrocalcinosis are discussed. Occasionally, patients may present with this arthropathy before the onset of the classical signs of idiopathic hemochromatosis.
