  • Title: The surgical reconstruction of the rheumatoid forefoot.
    Author: Haro AA, Moore LF, Schorn K, DiDomenico LA.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2010 Apr; 27(2):243-59. PubMed ID: 20470956.
    Abstract:
    Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that presents in females more often than males, and may affect people belonging to any age group. This disease shows no regional or ethnic preference. Although genetic and environmental causes have been proposed, the definitive cause of immunologic susceptibility, as well as viral and bacterial infectious processes that may cause rheumatoid arthritis, have not been identified. This article discusses various reconstructive forefoot surgeries to correct rheumatoid arthritis and the perioperative care of the patients who undergo surgery, along with the radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings associated with the disease.
