Investigation of the metabolic acitivity of bone in rheumatoid arthritis.

Uptake of 99mTc pyrophosphate was measured in the midthird of the radius, ulna femur and metacarpal bones of 22 men with rheumatoid arthritis and 18 control subjects. It was significantly elevated in the rheumatoid population. In a parallel study, the retention of 99mTc methylene diphosphonate was significantly increased in 12 of these rheumatoid patients compared to 6 of the control subjects. These results suggest that there is increased bone turnover occurring in "nonjoint" bone in patients with RA and that the use of such bone as a reference standard for joint imaging is likely to prove misleading.

Shoulder joint rupture in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis producing bicipital masses and a hemorrhagic sign.

Multiple episodes of shoulder joint rupture leading to the development of bicipital masses occurred in a 6-yr-old boy with the systemic form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Observations made during the rapid evolution of the masses included early physical findings in the proximal upper arm which suggested a malignancy. An unusual hemorrhagic sign appeared in the cease of the elbow. A sequence of events is postulated to explain the course of development of these masses.
