[Polyarthrosis of the hand (author's transl)].
The polyarthrosis of the hand is a typical disease of the old age. Its banal form is more frequent in women, its erosive type in men. It can be demonstrated not only on the interphalangeal joints but on the metacarpophalangeal joints as well. The degenerative process of the basal-joints of the first ray of the hand is often seen in polyarthrosis. Most frequently diagnostic problems are caused by the erosive arthrosis however first of all polyarthrosis has to be differentiated from the p.c.p.
