Abstract
The clinical features and magnificated radiographic changes of dominant and nondominant hands were studied in 50 chronic rheumatoid arthritis patients. There were no significant statistical differences of limitation and deformity score, carpometacarpal ratio, erosion, narrowing and total X-ray score between the dominant and nondominant hands.
