Morpho-structural characteristics of feet in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A cross sectional study

Conclusions: The most common foot type in patients with RA is the pronated foot type with deformities in the MTP joints without Hallux Valgus. However, a percentage of patients with RA presents supinated foot type. The evolution of the disease shows some morphological changes in terms of patient's feet. The presence of more developed foot deformities is increased, such us Hallux Valgus or MTP joints deformity (Grade 3 in the Nijmegen classification scale).PMID:33967602 | PMC:PMC8100651 | DOI:10.7150/ijms.56935
