Pyrophosphate arthropathy in the carpal and metacarpophalangeal joints.

Vacuum phenomenon in equine carpal, metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints.

In order to establish the incidence of vacuum phenomenon in horses' carpal, metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints, stress-flexed radiographs were made of normal joints, joints with known pathology and in anaesthetised horses with joints under traction. Focal intra-articular radiolucencies were identified in normal stress-flexed carpal, metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal jo...

Bone and joint changes in haemochromatosis.

There has been little mention in the British literature of the bone and joint changes that may be associated with haemochromatosis. These changes consist of osteoporosis, opacification of menisci identical with chondrocalcinosis, and an arthropathy (Delbarre, 1960, 1964) which can affect the larger joints but which afflicts, in particular, the proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal jo...

Carpal instability in rheumatoid arthritis and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease. Pathogenesis and roentgen appearance.

The roentgen appearance and pathogenesis of carpal instability are described in an evaluation of patients and cadavers with rheumatoid arthritis and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease. Dorsiflexion (16%) and palmar flexion (8%) instability occurs in rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in patients with moderate to advanced disease. Navicular-lunate dissociation frequently accompanies dorsif...

Morphological study of articular cartilage in pyrophosphate arthropathy. (Chondrocalcinosis articularis or calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition diseases).

Intra articular Injection of Rifampin in Iranian Children with Haemophilic Arthropathy

Background:Chronic synovitis is one of the most important complications in haemophilic patients. Rifampin is anantibiotic which its intra-articular injecion leads to destruction of the synovial membrane of haemophilic patientsmedically.Materials and Methods: Between September 2003 and November 2005, we administered intra-articular rifampinin ١۶ haemophilic joints of ٨ haemophilic patients.Resul...
