This review outlines the skin, vascular and musculoskeletal symptoms affecting
the hand during systemic inflammatory diseases other than rheumatoid arthritis.
Skin lesions are diagnosed clinically and their symptomatology is documented
through an extensive series of photographs. These conditions may require specific
care before a surgical procedure can be performed. Vascular lesions are also
diagnosed clinically and their symptomatology is described in detail. It is
important to recognize that acrocyanosis is always benign. The surgeon should be
able to distinguish between primary, but benign Raynaud's disease and secondary
Raynaud's syndrome, which has a high risk of finger necrosis. Current preventative and curative treatments for finger necrosis are described. The
clinical, radiological, progressive and therapeutic features of musculoskeletal
lesions are reviewed, namely those associated with psoriatic arthritis, systemic
sclerosis and lupus.
