[Exo- and endomarginal sclerosis of the metacarpal heads as a special reaction in chronic polyarthritis].
In the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, sclerotic reactions - especially at the metacarpal heads - may sometimes occur at both sides of the bone with an irregular widening of the calcified cartilage layer or of the subchondral bone margin, despite simultaneous demineralization of the subchondral trabecular spongiosa.
