Acro-osteolysis. 1985

L Techner, and J Oloff-Solomon

Acro-osteolysis is a common radiographic finding in the upper or lower extremity. It may be idiopathic, part of a primary osteolysis syndrome, associated with a systemic disorder, traumatically induced, or caused by environmental toxins. Recognition of this process and its associated disorders is essential for complete patient care. This paper discusses the definition, etiologies, pathogenesis, and radiographic findings of acro-osteolysis.
