Plain film
• Mimics osteoarthritis—joint space narrowing, bone sclerosis, prominent subchondral cysts (‘geodes’).
• Tendency to affect non-weight-bearing joints (e.g. elbow, radiocarpal joint and patella-femoral compartment of the knee).
• Bilateral and symmetrical.
• Variable osteophyte formation and chondrocalcinosis.
• Joint destruction with subchrondral collapse, fragmentation and loose bodies (similar to a Charcot joint).
