Heberden nodes on plain hand image

Heberden's nodes are deformities of the distal interphalangeal joints of the hand (DIP). Together with Bouchard nodes, they are a clinical and graphic sign of osteoarthrosis.

Etiology

Some jobs [1] indicate that these are not purely osteoproductive changes, but that they are involved with bone and ligament.

X-ray finding

In correlation with the clinic, nodes are most often found on the dorsolateral edge of the distal interphalangeal joints of the hand [2]. This is a sign of advanced osteoarthrosis.
