Overview

Psoriatic arthritis may lead to erosion of bone tissue and characeristic "pencil in cup" deformities. It may also lead to periostitis, dactylitis or arthriris mutilans.

X-Ray

  • Key X-ray findings in psoriatic arthriris include:[1][2][3]
    • Enthesitis and marginal bone erosions.
    • "Pencil-in-cup" deformities.
    • Interphalangeal ankylosis may be found.
    • Bone proliferation leads to inflammatory bone spur formation around the affected joints.
    • Periostitis: Appears as a periosteal layer of new bone, or as irregular thickening of the cortex itself.
    • Dactylitis: which can present as a “sausage digit” which refers to soft tissue swelling of a whole digit.
    • Arthritis mutilans: It may lead to "telescoping of fingers" caused by marked bony resorption and the subsequent collapse of soft tissue
    • Asymmetrical sacroilitis
    • Spondylitis: Asymmetric paravertebral ossifications and relative sparing of the facet joints.
