The Prevalence of Calcifications at the Origin of the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis Increases with Age

摘要

Enthesopathy of the extensor carpi radialis brevis origin [eECRB] is a common idiopathic, non-inflammatory disease of middle age that is characterized by excess glycosaminoglycan production and frequently associated with radiographic calcification of its origin. The purpose of our study was to assess the relationship of calcification of the ECRB and advancing age.
