                            <p>Purpose: We aimed to reveal terminal phalangealchanges in scleroderma patients by direct radiography.Materials and methods:Bilateral hand-wrists radiographs of eight womenwith a mean age of 36.4 years (range, 22-48 years) who were on follow-up withthe diagnosis of scleroderma were retrospectively evaluated for acral (terminalphalanx) pathologies and other hand-wrist changes.ResultsOn bilateral hand-wrist radiographs,flexion contractures with different degrees in 62.5% (n=5/8) of cases, claw hand and claw hand development processin 25% (n=2/8) of cases, arthritic and degenerative changes in variouslocalizations of the intercarpal ,carpometacarpal, metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints in 75% (n=6/8) of cases, various degrees ofperiarticular osteoporosis were observed. In 25% (n=2/8) of cases, soft tissuecalcifications were detected distal to the fingers. Terminal phalanx resorption(acroosteolysis) and erosion were observed in 62.5% (n=2/8) cases. It has beendetermined that these periosteal resorption and erosions are more likely toaffect the palmar sides of the taft. Acroosteolysis was milder and more limitedin the two cases, and in the three cases, the terminal phalanges were seen asprominent cusps.Conclusion: Directradiography has been found to be useful in showing terminal phalangepathologies, especially acroosteolysis in chronic scleroderma cases, and thisshould be the first imaging method to be applied.</p></trans-abstract>
