Overview
Physical Examination
- Patients with psoriatic arthritis usually appear normal.
- Physical examination of a patient with psoriatic arthritis may include:
- Joint involvement:[1][2]
- Joint tenderness
- Joint swelling may or may not be present
- Redness and warmth
- Patterns of joint involvement in psoriatic arthritis may include according to moll and wright :
- Distal arthritis: Involving mostly DIP joints, may be symmetric or asymmetric. It may involve multiple joints or only few joints.
- Asymmetric oligoarthritis: Most common pattern can be seen in psoriatic arthritis. It is characterized by asymmetric involvement of less than 5 small or large joints.
- Symmetric polyarthritis
- Arthritis mutilans: Resorption of phalanges, metatarsals and, metacarpals.
- Spondylitis
- Sacroiliitis
- Joint effusion
- Achilles tendinitis[3]
- Dactylitis: sausage digit due to swelling of the whole finger or toe.[4]
- Skin:[5][6]
- Psoriatic arthritis may occur after the onset of psoriasis in most of the patients. However, in some cases, arthritis precede psoriasis. The phenotypes of skin psoriasis that are associated with an increased risk of psoriatic arthritis are the lesions in the scalp, nail, intergluteal, and perianal regions.[7]
- Nails:[8][9]
- Nail pits
- Onycholysis
- Subungual hyperkeratosis
- Splinter hemorrhages
- Beau lines
- Leukonychia
- Oil drop patches
- Nail crumbling
- Nail destruction
- Involvement of eyes:[10][11]
- Edema of hands or feet: Swelling of hands and feet which is asymmetrical with pitting edema may be found in some cases.[12]
