Ultrasonographic evidence of predominance of acute extracapsular and chronic intrasynovial patterns in 100 psoriatic hand dactylitis.

CONCLUSION: In a large cohort of PsA hand dactylitis, we found a predominant extracapsular inflammation (flexor tenosynovitis and soft tissue oedema) in early cases and a high prevalence of joint synovitis at PIP level in the chronic form. However, longitudinal imaging studies are need for clarifying these aspects. PMID: 31092722 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
