Abstract
During a 15-year period, 17 patients with psoriatic arthritis had 27 foot and ankle operations. The most common operation was forefoot arthroplasty. The stage of psoriatic skin involvement and the pattern of radiographic changes in the foot and ankle joints were evaluated, and the factors thought to influence perioperative outcome were reviewed. The complications were Koebner's phenomenon (or isomorphic response), infection, and nonunion, which were uncommon. The features predicting outcome of diagnosis and treatment were not identified.
