[Histopathological characteristics of degenerative modifications of the incudomalleolar joint].

The authors studied histopathologic features of degenerative changes in the incudomalleolar articulation in adults. In 40% of the cases signs of degenerative changes manifesting as atrophy, fibrosis, hyalinization and calcification were recorded. In some cases obliteration of the articular space was noted. In 60% of the cases the articulation manifested normal structure.
