title: [Soft tissue changes in the hands in progressive scleroderma (excluding calcifications)].
abstract: The systemic progressive sclerosis causes numerous soft tissue changes at the hand, most often a thickening of the skin and an augmentation of the fibrous structures in the subcutis, which occur before the atrophy of the finger tip. Other soft tissue changes are the synovitic enlargement of the joint capsules and the tendon sheaths and the tendinitic enlargement of the tendons. This complex of soft tissue changes is seen in the three view low kV radiography.
