“…The distribution of OA among the hand joints was similar to that reported by Plato and Norris (I), who studied a larger cross-sectional sample of volunteers from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, as well as the distribution found in the New Haven, CT (29) and Tecumseh, MI (7) populations. In each report, DIP joints had a higher prevalence of OA than did PIP joints, with the second and fifth DIP joints being the most frequently involved.…”

In this prospective analysis of the natural history of osteoarthritis (OA) of the hand, the incidence and progression of various radiographic features of OA were examined in 177 men who participated in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. Subjects who were less than 60 years old were selected based on the availability of at least 4 hand radiographs taken during at least 20 years of followup, while subjects who were age 60 or older were required to have had at least 4 hand radiographs taken during only 14 years of followup. Individual joints of the hands were graded for the presence and severity of 5 features of OA: osteophytes, joint space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis, lateral deformity, and cortical collapse. They were also graded according to the global KellgredLawrence scale. The incidence and rate of progression of OA, as measured by all scales, increased in progressively older age groups.

“…In this large population-based cohort, we found a low prevalence of MCP10 13 and wrist OA (table 1 and figure 2). 13 Knowledge about wrist OA prevalence is limited and conflicting 1 12 13. In accordance with previous studies, all carried out at least 25 years ago, we found a higher prevalence and incidence of wrist OA in men than women (tables 1 and 2).…”

Objectives To describe the prevalence and longitudinal course of radiographic, erosive and symptomatic hand osteoarthritis (HOA) in the general population. Methods Framingham osteoarthritis (OA) study participants obtained bilateral hand radiographs at baseline and 9-year follow-up. The authors defined radiographic HOA at joint level as Kellgren–Lawrence grade (KLG)≥2, erosive HOA as KLG≥2 plus erosion and symptomatic HOA as KLG≥2 plus pain/aching/stiffness. Presence of HOA at individual level was defined as ≥1 affected joint. The prevalence was age-standardised (US 2000 Population 40–84 years). Results Mean (SD) baseline age was 58.9 (9.9) years (56.5% women). The age-standardised prevalence of HOA was only modestly higher in women (44.2%) than men (37.7%), whereas the age-standardised prevalence of erosive and symptomatic OA was much higher in women (9.9% vs 3.3%, and 15.9% vs 8.2%). The crude incidence of HOA over 9-year follow-up was similar in women (34.6%) and men (33.7%), whereas the majority of those women (96.4%) and men (91.4%) with HOA at baseline showed progression during follow-up. Incident metacarpophalangeal and wrist OA were rare, but occurred more frequently and from an earlier age in men than women. Development of erosive disease occurred mainly in those with non-erosive HOA at baseline (as opposed to those without HOA), and was more frequent in women (17.3%) than men (9.6%). Conclusions The usual female predominance of prevalent and incident HOA was less clear for radiographic HOA than for symptomatic and erosive HOA. With an ageing population, the impact of HOA will further increase.

The gradient in prevalence of idiopathic osteoarthritis of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints from the index to the little finger was used to test three theories. Trauma was correlated by analysis of fracture incidence in the four rays in 142 patients. Correlation with utilisation of arc was assessed by goniometric measurement of mean MCP flexion in five hand positions in a sample of 200 activities, and recording utilisation of these positions by behavioural observation techniques in the course of 2831 actions, 2746 domestic and 85 nondomestic. Both correlations were negative. The hypotheses of excessive loading and incomplete use were compared and tested against external evidence. It is suggested that the gradient in MCP prevalence of osteoarthritis is consistent with a bifactorial aetiology, with site and incidence determined by incomplete use, and with the rate of progress by cartilage loading.
