[Radiological atteration of sacro-iliac junctions in secondary hyperparathyroidism (author's transl)]

The systematic exploration of the skeleton on patients in periodic hemodialysis, has shown a high incidence in alteration of sacro-iliac junctions. In respect of osteodystrophic alteration of the phalanges, the appearance is late and with continued hemodialytic treatment there is a turn for the worse. The exact definition has been obtained only with tomography. The radiological picture show a pseudoenlargement of the articular cleft, with shaded aspect of outlines and phenomena of periarticular bone thickening.
