Bouchard's nodes are ''deformities'' of the '''proximal interphalangeal joints''' of the hand ('''PIP'''). Like the [[Heberden nodes|Heberden nodes,]] they are a clinical and graphical sign of [[osteoarthritis]]. In contrast to Heberden nodes, nodes caused by antibody deposits in synovial fluid may also correlate with [[rheumatoid arthritis]].<ref name="RadioPaedia">[https://radiopaedia.org/articles/bouchard-node?lang=us#image_list_item_20093273</ref>  


== Radiographic findings ==
In correlation with the clinic, we find bone nodes at the edges of the '''proximal interphalangeal joints''' of the hand - they are often palpable (they may correspond to osteophytes), not always painful. They are less common than Heberden nodes<ref name="RadioPaedia" />.
