Abstract

Radiography of the synchondrosis between the manubrium and the sternal body was performed in 29 patients with clinically certain psoriatic arthropathy. Tomography proved necessary for a detailed analysis. Erosive inflammatory lesions were detected in 18 cases; in 61 per cent of cases with a history of more than 5 years and in 71 per cent of cases with typical hand and feet arthropathy. It is concluded that the sternum is frequently involved in cases with roentgenologically typical psoriatic arthropathy.
