[Subligamentous resorption in the finger as an early sign of hyperparathyroidism]

Not infrequently, hyperparathyroidism first becomes manifest in the finger only by sub-ligamentous resorption at the point of attachment of the numerous structures or in combination with border-line subperiosteal resorption. A favourable target site are the bone prominences which serve for attachment of the cruciform part of the fibrous tendon sheath.
