Psoriatic arthropathy





asymetrical arthropathy involving mainly the DIJ.
there is pitting of the nail and onycholysis.
(look for patches of psoiasis in the skin)

radiological features:
1-fluffy periostitis
2-destruction of the small joints
3-pencil cup appearance
4-deformity

what are the different types of psoriaric arthropathy?
what are the lines of management?
