Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine and compare foot and ankle problems in above forty years old women diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) with healthy women of the same age. Material and methods: A total of 67 women, 26 with RA, 21 with OA, and 20 healthy women were the subjects of the study. The foot related complaints and symptoms, range of motion, severity of deformities, foot function, pain, and Foot Function Index were evaluated. Results: Erythema, morning stiffness and inflammatory symptoms were more apparent in the RA group. Edema, metatarsophalangeal sensitivity, calluses at the metatarsophalangeal and interphangeal joints were prevalent in all three groups at variable ratios. Pain was most apparent at the metatarsophalangeal joint in all three groups. Pain increased with activity in the RA group. The Foot Function Index scores and total joint limitations were significantly worse in the RA group than other groups (p0.05). Discussion: This study has shown that while RA, with the undulating inflammatory process causing pain, and limitation negatively affected foot mechanics, in spite of the articular mechanic process that compromises foot structures the osteoarthritis patients were less symptomatic. It was seen that there was a significant degree of degenerative foot problems in healthy middle aged women which should not be overlooked.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, romatoid artrit (RA) ve osteoartrit (0A) tanısıyla izlenmekte olan 40 yaş ve üzeri kadın hastalarda görülen ayak-ayak bileği problemlerini belirlemek, farklılıkları araştırmak ve aynı yaş grubu sağlıklı kadınların ayaklarıyla karşılaştırmaktı. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 67 kadın olgu alındı. Olguların 26'sı RA, 21'i OA ve 20'si sağlıklı bireylerden oluşmaktaydı. Olguların ayağa ilişkin yakınma ve semptomları, eklem hareket genişlikleri, . mevcut deformitelerin şiddetleri, ayak fonksiyon indeksi ve ağrıları değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Eritem, sabah sertliği gibi inflamatuar belirtilerin RA'lı hasta grubunda daha fazla olduğu, ödem, metatarsofalangeal hassasiyet, metatarsofalangeal ve proksimal interfalangeal eklem nasırlarının her üç grupta da değişen oranlarda ortaya çıktığı saptandı. Metatarsofalangeal eklem ağrısının her üç grupta fazla olduğu ve RA'da aktiviteyle ağrı artışının belirgin olduğu bulundu. Ayak Fonksiyon İndeksi skorlarının ve toplam eklem limitasyonlarının RA'lı grupta daha fazla olduğu saptandı (p0.05). Tartışma: Araştırmamız RA'lı hastalardaki dalgalanmalı inflamatuar sürecin fonksiyonu etkileyen ağrı ve limitasyon oluşumuyla ayak mekaniğini olumsuz şekilde etkilediğini, OA'lı hastalardaki artiküler mekanik süreçlerin ayak yapılarını zorlamakla birlikte daha az semptomla birlikte görüldüğünü ortaya koydu. Ayrıca orta yaş üzeri sağlıklı kadın olgularda da ayakta ortaya çıkan dejeneratif değişikliklerin göz ardı edilemeyecek düzeyde olduğunu gösterdi.
