THE CLINICO-ROENTGENOLOGIC FEATURES OF AINHUM

LAWRENCE E. FETTERMAN M.D.1, ROBYN HARDY M.D.2, and HAROLD LEHRER M.D.1

1 From the Departments of Radiology of Louisiana State University School of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana
2 From the Tulane University School of Medicine and Charity Hospital, New Orleans, Louisiana

The roentgenologic features of ainhum and the clinical setting of this condition as it appears in the United States, have been reviewed based upon a case encountered in Mobile, Alabama and an additional 12 cases from the records of Charity Hospital, New Orleans. All cases occurred in Negroes. On roentgenograms, the presence of an annular indentation of the soft tissues at the base of the fifth toe accompanied by characteristic bone changes in the phalange(s) can be considered to be pathognomonic. In older patients, the recognition of these roentgenographic changes should make it possible to avoid confusion with arteriosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.
