Fig. 11.11

Dorsopalmar radiograph of both hands in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. There is typical involvement of the MCP joints with joint space narrowing and marginal erosions, most markedly seen on the radial side of the metacarpal heads (arrows). Subluxation is evident at the index MCP joints. Note erosions also seen at the ulnar styloid processes (arrowheads). Periarticular osteopenia is seen at several sites, for instance, at the fifth metacarpal bases (dotted arrows)
