title: [The diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthrosis deformans in subjects in contact with fluorine compounds].
abstract: A comparative study is presented of 378 workers with osteoarthrosis deformans (OD) contacting with fluorine compounds and in 106 patients with primary OD. The diagnostic criteria in these two categories of patients coincided. But the pain syndrome in the joints in professional fluorosis (PF) was associated with ossalgias (85%), tenderness of the bones (50.1%) and in 100% by symmetric hyperostosis. OD in PF was accompanied by a more pronounced density, was not accompanied by formation of nodes, and secondary synovitis was 4 times frequent. In OD plus PF males prevailed (96.7 e), and were averagely 10 years younger. In OD+PF treatment diet, calcium agents, glutamic acid should be used that bind and excrete fluorine from the body.
