Abstract:
Arthritis of the hand and finger joints is seen with unspecific and specific signs, as known from the hip and knee joints. The examination has to be done with special applicators (small sized with 7-13 MHz). Especially signs such as erosions and surrounding synovitis ensure the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
