The term rheumatic disease refers to any illness characterized by pain and stiffness in or around the joints.
These diseases are divided into two main groups: disorders that involve the joints primarily (the different
forms of arthritis) and disorders that, although not
directly affecting the joints, involve connective tissue
structures around the joints (the periarticular disorders,
or nonarticular rheumatism). The many types of
arthritis and nonarticular disorders differ from one
another in etiology, pathogenesis, pathology, and
clinical features.
Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis (also called
degenerative joint disease) are the most common forms
of arthritis. Both of these chronic conditions are characterized by pain, stiffness, restricted joint motion, joint
deformities, and disability, but their differences in
pathogenesis, pathology, and clinical features must be
distinguished because the prognosis and treatment of
the two diseases differ. Other inflammatory arthritides
that are of concern in the hand, especially gout, lupus,
and psoriatic arthritis, are frequently seen.
Post-traumatic and postinfectious arthritis and treatment are typically specific to the joint affected by the
insult, and the principles of treatment are often similar
to those for the more common types of arthritis
