    Author: Resnick D, Pineda CJ, Weisman MH, Kerr R.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 1985; 14(4):263-6. PubMed ID: 4071100.
    Abstract:
    The spectrum of radiographic abnormalities accompanying bone and joint infection that results from human bites of the hand is presented in an analysis of 13 patients. Features include mono-articular involvement, predilection for a metacarpophalangeal joint, soft tissue swelling, joint space narrowing, bone erosions and periostitis. Magnification techniques may be required for early and accurate diagnosis.
