  • Title: Clinical manifestations and treatment of the pediatric rheumatoid patient.
    Author: Haber L, Womack E, Zimmerman C, Hughes J.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2010 Apr; 27(2):219-33. PubMed ID: 20470954.
    Abstract:
    The management goal of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is to achieve early diagnosis and treatment so that arthritis can be resolved at an early stage, which avoids long-term damage and provides a good outcome of the affected inflammatory joints. This article describes presentation, classification, evaluation, and treatment of JRA as it relates to the foot and ankle. Because the course of JRA is complex and the optimal management is highly variable in each patient, this article can only offer recommendations. Actual treatment should be individualized to meet the conditions of each patient.
