Musculoskeletal Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Joint involvement in SSc affects 46-97% of patients with SSc [3]. Generalized inflammatory arthralgias with pain and stiffness are the usual presentation of articular involvement. All joints may be affected, mainly the fingers (in particular the Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) joints), wrists and ankles. Franck arthritis is less common. The onset of this latter may be acute or insidious, and oligoarticular or polyarticular in pattern [4].
