SYMPTOMATIC CHONDROCALCINOSIS AT THE WRIST
1977
Twenty-two patients with chondrocalcinosis in the wrists were treated for symptoms of pseudogout. All but 3 had signs of degenerative arthropathy; 2 patients also had chondrocalcinosis of other joints in the hand. The degree of chondrocalcinosis and the grade of arthrosis varied but there was no certain correlation between the two. Attacks of arthritis were the clinical features in 13 cases. The usual treatment was immobilization and administration of phenylbutazone.
