چکیده
Despite the high prevalence of foot symptoms in people with rheumatic diseases, the foot and ankle remains a neglected area in rheumatology. Part of the problem is a lack of appropriate training in clinical examination techniques.1 Also, the foot and ankle are relatively inaccessible: to expose the feet may require much effort for someone with arthritis and may not be prioritised by the examining clinician. It is often much easier, therefore, to ignore the potential for foot problems or to simply refer problems unseen to an allied service such as podiatry. While there may be a perception among some clinicians that foot treatments should be delegated to appropriately qualified professionals, all clinicians should be able to assess the feet competently in an outpatient setting. Our aim in this review is to provide an evidencebased guide to the assessment, understanding and treatment of the foot and ankle in the more common rheumatic diseases.
