Comparison between Several Ultrasound Hand Joint Scores and Conventional Radiography in Diagnosing Hand Osteoarthritis

Imaging modalities in hand osteoarthritis - status and perspectives of conventional radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography

Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is very frequent in middle-aged and older women and men in the general population. Currently, owing to high feasibility and low costs, conventional radiography (CR) is the method of choice for evaluation of hand OA. CR provides a two-dimensional picture of bony changes, such as osteophytes, erosions, cysts, and sclerosis, and joint space narrowing as an indirect measure...

Validity of joint space width measurements in hand osteoarthritis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the validity of joint space width (JSW) measurements in millimeters (mm) in hand osteoarthritis (OA) patients by comparison to controls, grading of joint space narrowing (JSN), and clinical features. METHODS Hand radiographs of 235 hand OA patients (mean age 65 years, 83% women) and 471 controls were used. JSW was measured with semi-automated image analysis software i...

Relationship between hand function and grip force control in women with hand osteoarthritis.

Hand osteoarthritis (OA) usually results in decreased strength and function of the hand and deficits in motor control. However, no data exists on the relationship among these symptomatological features of hand OA. Ten females with hand OA and ten matched, nondisabled control subjects participated in this study. The outcomes of the Moberg Pickup Test (MPUT) and other functional hand tests were c...
