Radiographs revealed no joint issues in cystic fibrosis patients. However, a previously undocumented finding of shortened fourth metacarpals was observed in 9% of individuals, with hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy in 5.5%.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pulmonology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal symptoms are common in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.
  • Previous research has not extensively documented specific radiographic findings in CF beyond general symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review hand, wrist, tibia, and fibula radiographs in cystic fibrosis patients.
  • To identify any radiographic joint abnormalities or previously undocumented findings.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of radiographs (hands, wrists, tibia, fibula).
  • Analysis of imaging data from 56 patients diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.

Main Results:

  • No radiographic joint abnormalities were detected in the reviewed bone and joint areas.

  • Shortened fourth metacarpals were identified in 5 out of 56 patients (9%), a novel observation.
  • Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy was present in 3 patients (5.5%).

    • Conclusions:

    • While typical joint abnormalities were not found, shortened metacarpals represent a new radiographic finding in cystic fibrosis.
    • Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy is also observed in a subset of CF patients.
