Italy RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OSTEOARTHRITIS AND DIABETES P. Siviero1, S. Zambon1,2, S. Zanoni1,2, G.

Hand radiographs were scored for the presence of OA in the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints (IP) and in the first carpometacarpal joint (CMC) using a standard atlas; for knee and hip the Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale was used.
