“…The main indications were: flexion contracture of the interphalangeal (IP) joints, hyperextension deformity of the metacarpophalangeal joints, and arthritic degeneration of the wrist. These are typical arthritic deformities specific to the scleroderma population according to literature (Fontaine et al., 2014; Lipscomb et al., 1969; Nalebuff, 1999).…”

We aimed to examine if joint procedures in hands and wrists of patients with scleroderma could be performed without major morbidity and conducted a systematic review of the literature to assess this hypothesis. Studies were identified in four different databases; soft tissue procedures in scleroderma patients were excluded, and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. Seven studies out of an initial total of 203 articles were included. One-hundred and twelve scleroderma patients with a total of 402 joint procedures in the hand and wrist were identified. A low complication incidence, comparable with that of non-sclerodermic population, in terms of infection, wound healing problems, and nonunion was reported in all studies. The application of joint procedures in scleroderma hands and wrists seems to be associated with low morbidity.

“…These MRI findings also do not establish a disease severity. Distal phalangeal bone marrow edema-like changes can be nonspecific and are also demonstrated in a wide variety of diseases including fractures, crush injuries, insect stings or bites, osteomyelitis, serous bone marrow transformation pathologies, and seronegative spondyloarthropathies [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26]. Other limitations of this case include presentation confirmation in correlation to known disease and lack of histopathologic correlation.…”

Objective The purpose of this report is to discuss the presentation and the progressive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a single patient with clinically-diagnosed Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). Conclusion RP can present as non-specific toe pain and manifest as progressive abnormal MRI bone marrow signal in the toes. In addition to patient presentation and clinical assessment, this information could contribute to earlier diagnosis and treatment of RP and other coexisting rheumatologic disorders.

“…Schmerzhafte Destruktionen des Endgelenkes eines Fingers (distales Interphalangealgelenk – DIP-Gelenk) oder des Daumens (Interphalangealgelenk – IP-Gelenk) sind mit einer Inzidenz von mehr als 60 % bei über 60-Jährigen häufig 1 , 2 . Mögliche Ursachen hierfür sind idiopathische Arthrosen (Heberden-Arthrose), entzündliche Gelenkerkrankungen, aseptisch aus dem rheumatischen Formenkreis, wie die Psoriasis-Arthritis, oder septisch, sowie akute traumatische und vor allem posttraumatische Veränderungen, beispielsweise der Streck- (Mallet-Finger) oder Beugesehne oder Pseudarthrosen 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 . Auch sekundäre Fehlstellungen infolge einer Schwanenhals- oder Knopflochdeformität können zu Arthrosen des DIP-Gelenks führen.…”
