Overview

Surgery may not be the first-line treatment for patients with psoriatic arthritis. Surgical options, such as the knee surgery, hip replacements, and surgery involving hand joints may be recommended in patients with severe joint damage and deformity.

Surgery

• Surgery may be indicated in patients of psoriatic arthritis with severe joint damage that limit mobility.
• Common procedures include hand joint surgery involving PIP and DIP joints, hip or knee surgery.
