Intra-articular calcification in scleroderma

Radiology. 1977 Sep;124(3):685-8. doi: 10.1148/124.3.685.

Abstract

Two patients with scleroderma demonstrated intra-articular calcification, which is rarely observed in this disease. The authors suggest that intra-articular calcification and erosion of adjacent cartilage and bone are related.
