Psoriatic nail dystrophy is associated with erosive disease in the distal interphalangeal joints in psoriatic arthritis: a retrospective cohort study.

CONCLUSION: The presence of psoriatic nail dystrophy, particularly onycholysis, is associated with erosive disease at the DIPjs. Subungal hyperkeratosis is more strongly associated with erosive damage at the DIPjs than non-DIPjs. These findings support the anatomical and pathological link between nail and DIP joint disease.
