“…The prevalence of ACW involvement based on imaging assessment varies between imaging methods such as bone scintigraphy, computed tomography, ultrasonography (US), and MRI. It ranges from 35.5% to 67.2%, with MSJ being the most commonly affected joint [ 2 , 9 , 12 , 13 ]. The detection variability between the imaging modalities might be attributable to the differences in their lesion detection sensitivity and specificity, in addition to study population heterogeneity.…”

“…Erosion was observed as the most frequent lesion type in our cases, while other studies reported BME to be the most common finding [ 2 ]. Because ACW involvement might be associated with disease duration and a higher disease activity [ 12 , 13 ], the frequency of each lesion type would vary depending on the baseline characteristics of the patients.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in diagnosing and classifying axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) and is also useful for appropriate evaluation of disease status owing to its ability to detect inflammation early and reveal structural changes. However, dedicated MRI for the anterior chest wall (ACW) is not routinely considered despite relatively frequent presence of ACW lesions. To date, no study has investigated the imaging findings and clinical features of ACW involvement in Korean SpA patients. Thus, we aimed to show ACW involvement in SpA patients using ACW lesions found by MRI. We describe 20 cases of ACW involvement in which MRI-detected manubriosternal joint lesions. The lesion types included subchondral bone marrow edema, marginal or central bone erosions, subchondral fat infiltration or deposition, and ankylosis, with erosions being the most prevalent finding. We also provide the literature review results describing MRI findings of ACW lesions in SpA patients.

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a prevalent genetic disorder that significantly impairs mobility, particularly in the spine, sacroiliac, and peripheral joints. Recent evidence highlights early involvement of the sternoclavicular joint in SpA, which may serve as an initial indicator. Diagnosis often relies on CT and MRI, neglecting ultrasound's potential in identifying SpA‐related sternoclavicular arthritis. This review focuses on the joint's anatomy, exploring ultrasound's diagnostic and therapeutic role in SpA‐related sternoclavicular arthritis, aiming to provide insights for future ultrasound applications in SpA management.
