  • Title: Osteoarthritis associated with distal interphalangeal joint involvement in rheumatoid arthritis.
    Author: Abbott GT, Bucknall RC, Whitehouse GH.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 1991; 20(7):495-7. PubMed ID: 1754910.
    Abstract:
    A study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between the clinical and radiological findings in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), and combined osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (OA/RA) affecting the hands. Fifty patients were selected for each group from those attending a rheumatology clinic. The study showed a good correlation between the clinical and radiological diagnosis of combined OA/RA and that marginal erosive changes in the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints occur more commonly in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have coexisting osteoarthritis.
