The ultrasonographic spectrum of toe dactylitis in psoriatic arthritis: a descriptive analysis
Ultrasound showed different elementary lesions in toe dactylitis confirming the complexity of this manifestation also at foot. These findings represent a first step toward the development of further imaging studies assessing toe dactylitis in PsA. Key Points • Tenosynovitis and soft tissue oedema were the most common ultrasonographic elementary lesion in acute toe dactylitis in psoriatic arthritis. • Synovitis was less frequent and peritendonitis was very uncommon. • Musculoskeletal ultrasound confirms the presence of multiple lesions in painful toe dactylitis, confirming the complexity of this manifestation.
