Abstract
Two million people in Europe suffer with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Among them 75% are women and the disease typically occurs around 45 years of age. Hand and wrist are almost always involved (over 80% of patients) and 70% of them will be obliged to stop their job. The ulnar drift of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints is present in more than 36.5% of the cases in women.
