[Arthroses of the radial ray of the wrist joint with special reference to the correlation between trauma and arthrosis].

Incidence of arthrosis in the region of the hand-joint and carpal bones has proved to be substantially higher than generally assumed. This was established by X-ray analysis in more than 80 per cent of all cases investigated. The changes thus recorded were found to be related to sex and age. Studies were conducted into the relationship between arthrosis and previous trauma.
