rheumatoid arthritis of finger joint

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common and potentially serious disease. Rheumatoid arthritis of the finger joints is a complex and

diverse disease, which may be related to genetic, autoimmune abnormalities, infections, environmental and other factors. Genetic factors may make individuals more susceptible to arthritis, while autoimmune abnormalities are the key mechanisms leading to arthritis and injury. Infection and environmental factors may be predisposing factors to the occurrence and development of the disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms are more typical, and swelling, pain, and stiffness of the finger joints are common manifestations, especially in the morning or after a long rest. As the disease progresses, joint deformities and limited mobility can seriously affect hand function and daily life. In addition to clinical manifestations, blood tests such as rheumatoid arthritis factors, anti-cyclic citrulline antibodies, and imaging examinations are needed to confirm the diagnosis. Early diagnosis is essential for developing an appropriate treatment plan.

Treatment emphasizes individualization, including drug therapy, such as indomethacin, methotrexate and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate symptoms and control disease progression. At the same time, physical therapy, rehabilitation training, etc. can also help improve joint function. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to correct deformity or improve joint function
