[Pathology of the joints of the hand and periarticular tissues in exposure to local vibration and functional overload of the hands].

The hand joint is a multi-joint formation, including the wrist, carpal, intercarpal, carpometacarpal, intermetacarpal, distal radioulnar joints. Features of hand joint and periarticular tissue disease were studied in 536 workers exposed to local vibration and functional overstrain. The most prevalent diseases are arthroses with deformation of the wrist, radiocarpal, carpometacarpal joints, often with involvement of the triangular fibrous disk and carpals, periarthroses of the hand joint with compression neuropathy of the median and ulnar nerves.
