Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of judgement about rheumatoid arthritis(RA)carpal subsidence by carpal height ratio(CHR).Methods The materials which have been maken definite diagnosis,including pair of carpal films of 40 cases,were devided into 6 groups to measure carpal height ratio by X-ray stage and deviation of metacarpal and phalanx toward ulna side.Results Early stage ? 36 =0.512,Middle stage ? 26 =0.514,Later stage? 18 =0.455.The group without deviation toward ulna side ? 69 =0.502,the group which deviation was smaller than 15?:? 10 =0.484,the group which deviation was larger than 15 ?:? 1 =0.450.Conclusion Carpal height ratio(CHR)has very importmant clinical significance to study the development and evolution of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)carpal subsidence.
