The radiographs of the ankle and feet reveal an extensive osteolysis of the tarsal bone, especially at the medial side of the midfoot and proximal metatarsal bone, causing a slight inward deformity of the forefeet.

An X-ray examination of the elbows, wrists and feet revealed extensive osteolysis of the carpal and tarsal bones and distal forearms, including the radial epiphysis of the carpal and metacarpal bones (Figures 1 and 2). Some degree of tarsal and carpal subluxation was observed, as well as bony deformity of the ulna bilaterally (Figures 1, 2, 3).
The radiographs of the hands, carpi and distal forearms show a massive osteolysis of the carpal bones bilaterally. The osteolysis also involves the proximal metacarpal bones, which appear tapered and anteriorly subluxated, especially at the right hand. Periarticular soft tissues are swollen with decreased transparancy. The osteolysis of the distal forearm results in radial epiphysis disappearance and radial and ulnar deformity on the left side.

The radiographs of elbows show a significant osteolysis of the left elbow, leading to joint collapse. Soft tissues around the right elbow are swollen. The right elbow appears normal.

Extensive osteolysis of the left elbow was also visible (Figure 3). These osseous alterations were accompanied by abarticular soft tissues swelling of the left elbow (Figure 3). Some degree of tarsal and carpal subluxation was observed, as well as bony deformity of the ulna bilaterally (Figures 1, 2, 3).
