Measuring metacarpal cortical bone by digital X-ray radiogrammetry: a step forward
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 10/20/09

Geusens PP et al. – Changes in metacarpal cortical bone mineral density (BMD) using digital x–ray radiogrammetry were studied in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis. After 1, 2, and 5 years, large BMD losses were found: –1.7%, –2.8%, and –5.6%, respectively. Studies are needed about the spatial and time relationship between erosions and juxta–articular and metacarpal bone loss.
