Abstract
The incidence of erosive arthropathy of the sternoclavicular joints in 25 consecutive cases of polymyalgia rheumatica was studied by means of sternoclavicular tomography. Definite erosions were found in 11 patients. Erosions were most likely to be found in patients whose symptoms had been present for more than 6 months.
