Acro-osteolysis (mnemonic)

Last revised by Akinola Ayodeji Odedeyi on 11 Jan 2024

The causes of acro-osteolysis can be remembered using the mnemonic:

  • CHOP FINger

  • PINCH FO

Mnemonic

CHOP FINger

Potentially easy to remember because acro-osteolysis makes the affected phalanges look like they have been chopped off.

PINCH FO
