Scintigraphic hand osteoarthritis (OA)--prevalence, joint distribution, and association with OA at other sites.

TL;DRAbstract

Bone scintigraphy is valuable method in epidemiological studies of OA, with acceptable interreader reproducibility and relation to joint symptoms. Although much of the current findings seem comparable with previous radiologic studies, they provide new ideas about age related patterns and joint subsets, possibly indicating a difference in pathogenetic mechanisms among joints in OA.
