Abstract: | We aimed to investigate the relationship between nail involvement and joint manifestations and whether there was a correlation
between nail psoriasis severity and bone manifestations in psoriatic patients without symptomatic psoriatic arthritis in plaque
type psoriasis. Thirty-one patients with nail involvement (16 men, 15 women, mean age 45.29 ± 18.73) and 39 patients without
nail involvement (16 men, 23 women, mean age 38.41 ± 17.33) were enrolled in the study. X-ray of the hands and feet with magnification
were performed. The distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint and bone (tuft of terminal phalanx) were evaluated. A scoring method
was performed on the patients with nail involvement. There was no difference in DIP joint involvement in patients with or
without finger- and toenail involvement (p = 0.085 and p = 0.062, respectively). However, the prevalence of bone involvement was higher in patients with finger- and toenail involvement
than without finger- and toenail involvement (p = 0.039 and p = 0.021, respectively). A positive correlation was also determined between finger- and toenail psoriasis severity and bone
involvement severity (r = 0.379, p = 0.001 and r = 0.288, p = 0.015). |
