“…Usually it involves one MTP joint, but sometimes it is presented with polyarticular involvement. 38 Radiologically, periarticular osteopenia, typical of RA, is not an expected finding in gout arthritis. Erosions may occur in both diseases, but marginal erosion is typical in RA, whereas erosions with sclerotic margins remote from the joint are seen in gout arthritis.…”

“…Hence, both of these known cases showed the typical traits described in the clinical literature: erosive polyarticular symmetric lesions affecting the hand and wrist bones as well as other more distant joints (here, the elbows). These traits are recognized characteristics of RA (2,(7)(8)(9)15,18,19,21,23,24,27,28,38) and used in the differential diagnosis of previous studies (26,31,46,53,54). Moreover, they both lacked the same features that would have indicated other diseases included in the differential diagnosis: sacroiliac fusion, spinal fusion, asymmetric involvement, fibrocartilaginous entheses, oligoarthritis, DIP joints involvement, and bone debris.…”

“…Erosive osteoarthritis, another lytic arthropathy affecting particularly the hands of middle‐aged women does not affect large joints . However, it does involve DIP joints just like psoriatic arthritis but unlike RA .…”

“…4,5 The pattern of joint involvement in RA is one characteristic that aids in distinction from gout and septic arthritis (Table 3). 45,47 However, in the foot (Table 4), early RA is not always bilaterally symmetrical. 5 Early forefoot disease is manifested by erosions of the medial surface of the first to fourth metatarsal heads and the lateral contour of the fifth metatarsal head.…”
