Abstract
There is a wide variety of hindfoot disease seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Initial treatment is conservative including optimizing medical management to control the disease process. Should symptoms persist, surgical treatment may be performed, although there is an increased complication rate related to both the disease and the side effects of the medications used to treat it.
