Tutorial The IP I is a typical location of resorptive erosions which may be observed at the dorsal aspect of the first metacarpal bone subjacent to the extensor pollicis longus tendon and on the proximal phalanx at the insertions of the flexor pollicis brevis and adductor pollicis muscles. Erosions of the triquetrum and the pisiform bones are common in early rheumatoid arthritis and occur at three sites: the proximal medial portion of the triquetrum, the distal medial portion of the triquetrum, and the adjacent surfaces of the triquetrum and the pisiform. Plain radiographs may disclose superficial or deep erosion on the palmar surface of the triquetral bone and the dorsal surface of the pisiform bone. www.meduniwien.ac.at /radiodiagnostik/osteo/dissertation/Coach_Tutorial_pure_Version/Coach_Help_Tutorial__Bone_erosion.htm   (1255 words)
