Abstract

In recent years, imaging has become increasingly important to confirm diagnosis, monitor disease activity, and predict disease course and outcome in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Over the past few decades, great efforts have been made to improve the quality of diagnostic imaging and to reach a consensus on which methods and scoring systems to use. However, there are still some critical issues, and the diagnosis, course, and management of JIA are closely related to clinical assessment. This review discusses the main indications for conventional radiography (XR), musculoskeletal ultrasound (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while trying to maintain a clinical perspective. The diagnostic-therapeutic timing at which one or the other method should be used, depending on the disease/patient phenotype, will be assessed, considering the main advantages and disadvantages of each imaging modality according to the currently available literature. Some brief clinical case scenarios on the most frequently and severely involved joints in JIA are also presented., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

Abstract

To evaluate neonates and infants with clubfoot, clinical and imaging modalities are required. Conventional radiography is of limited value because the studied bones are not fully ossified.We attempted to (1) evaluate clinically and sonographically the reliability of the Ponseti method in correcting clubfeet; and (2) determine whether various ultrasound (US) variables correlated with each other and with the Pirani score before and after treatment.We prospectively followed 17 infants (25 clubfeet) assessed using the Pirani score and US variables (medial malleolus navicular distance, navicular alignment in relation to the talar head, medial soft tissue thickness, talar length, and calcaneocuboid distance) and treated with the Ponseti method. The mean age of the patients at first casting was 30 days, and repeat assessment after treatment was performed at a mean age of 6.3 months. Patients were followed for a minimum of 0.75 months (mean, 14.1 months; range, 0.75-38 months).The Ponseti method corrected all feet. We found three clinical/US correlations. Before treatment, we observed a negative correlation between the clinical midfoot score and the sonographic medial malleolus navicular distance. After treatment we observed two negative correlations: one between the midfoot score and the sonographic talar length and the other between the hindfoot score and medial malleolus navicular distance. Four feet had recurrence of varus, two of which had an increased calcaneocuboid distance despite full restoration of navicular alignment in one foot.US can play a role in clubfoot assessment and may alert the surgeon to feet that may be prone to recurrence.Level II, prospective study.

27. [Early undifferentiated arthritis].

Abstract

Early recognition and treatment of inflammatory arthritis is imperative for the further course of the disease. Patients with inflammatory arthritis should be referred as early as possible to a rheumatologist for further management. A combination of anamnesis, clinical examination, imaging and laboratory measurements enable a differential diagnosis. If a specific diagnosis is not possible, the disease is called early undifferentiated arthritis. Early effective treatment should be instituted for those at risk of developing persistent and/or erosive arthritis. Treatment includes both pharmacological and non-pharmacological options. In the management of early arthritis a combination of regular monitoring and optimal treatment interventions are paramount to achieve remission and improve outcome of the disease (treat-to-target).
