The rheumatoid foot and ankle: current evidence

David T Loveday et al. Foot Ankle Surg. 2012 Jun.

Abstract

The management of rheumatoid patients is a complex process due to the chronic, systemic, multi-joint and extra-articular nature of the disease. In comparison, osteoarthritis and post-traumatic arthritis usually involve a single joint and are hence not comparable to rheumatoid pathology. This review sets out to specifically look at studies on rheumatoid patients with interventions for foot or ankle disease. MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane databases, Current Controlled Trials and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform are all searched for relevant studies.
