Exploratory study to identify mechanical factors that may contribute to toe dactylitis in patients with psoriatic arthritis
Background Dactylitis (sausage digit) is one of the most commonly reported features of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), the second most common inflammatory arthritis after rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It has been hypothesised that dactylitis is a functional enthesitis at the proximal interphalangeal joints (hands and feet), causing multiple pathologies to varying levels of severity.

متن کاملUltrasound imaging module: report from the GRAPPA 2012 annual meeting.
At previous annual meetings of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA), members resolved to develop dactylitis and enthesitis ultrasound research projects. Sonography can depict many anatomic alterations in the digits of patients with dactylitis and can also study vascularity of these tissues noninvasively. At the 2012 GRAPPA meeting, the ultrasound w...
متن کاملMRI changes in psoriatic dactylitis--extent of pathology, relationship to tenderness and correlation with clinical indices.
OBJECTIVES To quantify the extent of inflammation in psoriatic dactylitis and to examine the relationship between clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data in both tender and non-tender dactylitis. METHODS Seventeen patients with psoriatic dactylitis underwent clinical assessment for 6 months after change of treatment, usually to methotrexate. Measures of dactylitis included the Leed...
متن کاملEnthesitis as a component of dactylitis in psoriatic juvenile idiopathic arthritis: histology of an established clinical entity
CONTEXT Imaging of dactylitis in adult psoriatic arthritis suggests a pathophysiological role for enthesitis. However, histological definition of the dactylitic digit is unavailable. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the role of enthesitis in dactylitis associated with psoriatic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (psJIA) in a child who underwent detailed imaging and histologic evaluation. DESIGN Radiograph...
متن کاملOptimal management of dactylitis in patients with psoriatic arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthropathy associated with cutaneous psoriasis, which is currently classified as a seronegative spondyloarthropathy. The presence of cutaneous psoriasis is important for correct and early diagnosis of PsA, because the onset of cutaneous lesions usually precedes the appearance of joint manifestation. Thus, dermatologists are able to detect the condit...
