Heberden's nodes
From WikiLectures
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.
