Comparison between clinical and ultrasound assessment of the ankle region in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Arthritis Care & Research May 02, 2020
Lanni S, Marafon DP, Civino A, et al. - The present study was performed to compare frequency of joint and tendon disease on ultrasound (US) and clinical examination (CE), and to evaluate agreement between US and CE in ankles with clinically active juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Researchers independently conducted US and CE in the joint and tendon compartments of 105 ankles. Grey‐scale (GS) US and power Doppler US joint abnormalities were scored on a 4‐point semiquantitative scale. This analysis recruited a sum of 163 joints in 89 ankles who had active synovitis on US. The outcomes of this research demonstrate that coupling CE with US aids to localize correctly pathology. There is recommendation of US training of practitioners to manage ankle disease in JIA.
