Abstrakt: Hand and wrist radiographs of 202 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were graded with the classical Steinbrocker Staging System, and were also assigned quantitative scores for joint space narrowing, erosion, and malalignment according to a detailed scoring method. Steinbrocker Stage scores were correlated significantly with total detailed scores (r = 0.60 to 0.66, P< 0.001). However, the ranges of detailed total and subtotal scores among the various Steinbrocker Stage scores were broad, with considerable overlap.
