Abstract
The analysis of accelerated osteoarthritis (OA) by Davis, et al 1 noted the predominantly interphalangeal joint distribution of associated erosions and suggested a likely inflammatory derivation of the process. That description, however, is also applicable to a disorder long recognized as inflammatory in character: calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD)2.
