| Abstract |
|
Acro-osteolysis is characterized by bone resorption in the fingers and toes and can occur in several diseases. Occupational exposure to polyvinyl chloride polymers, thermal injury, and repetitive mechanical injury can also cause acro-osteolysis. The pathophysiology of the disease is unknown, but a unifying theme of vascular and mechanical injury is presented. Signs include Raynaud's phenomenon, bone loss in the hand and cold sensitivity. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman who presented with acro-osteolysis after being burned repeatedly. |
