TLDR
A detailed analysis is presented of the patterns and symptoms of osteoarthrosis in the hands of a population sample living in a town on the East Coast of the United States, and results indicate that there may be a traumatic element in generalized osteOarthrosis.
Abstract
It has been known for many years that osteoarthrosis can be caused by trauma. More recently however, the concept, first developed by Kellgren and Moore (1952), that osteoarthrosis may in some instances involve many joints in the body and have a systemic basis, has gained acceptance. This condition is known as either generalized or primary osteoarthrosis, and the degenerative disease of an isolated joint is known as traumatic or secondary osteoarthrosis (Kellgren, 1961, 1964). In this paper a detailed analysis is presented of the patterns and symptoms of osteoarthrosis in the hands of a population sample living in a town on the East Coast of the United States. The results indicate that there may be a traumatic element in generalized osteoarthrosis.

Role of mechanical factors in pathogenesis of primary osteoarthritis

TL;DR: This work suggests that joints can wear out by repetitive impulsive loading, rather than by rubbing, and proposes a new mechanistic approach compatible with the pathology of and clinical experience with the disease.

Prevalence, incidence and progression of hand osteoarthritis in the general population: the Framingham Osteoarthritis Study

TL;DR: The usual female predominance of prevalent and incident HOA was less clear for radiographic HOA than for symptomatic and erosive HOA, and with an ageing population, the impact of HOA will further increase.

Interactive volume rendering

TL;DR: This paper discusses an approach for volume rendering in which interactive speed is achieved through a parallelizable forward mapping algorithm, successive refinement, table driven mappings for shading and filtering, and the avoidance of complex machine classification of the data.

Joint-specific prevalence of osteoarthritis of the hand

TL;DR: The findings suggest the need for further investigation of the role gender can play in the development of hand OA in populations under 60 years of age, and quantify the prevalence of radiographic hand osteoarthritis among community-dwelling individuals.

TL;DR: This is the revision of the classic text in the field, adding two new chapters and thoroughly updating all others as discussed by the authors, and the original structure is retained, and the book continues to serve as a combined text/reference.

A proposed index for measuring agreement in test-retest studies

TL;DR: Two indexes of agreement, A and A1, are compared by utilizing numerical examples and by application to published studies of reliability and the limitations of A1 are discussed.
