Chronic post rheumatic arthropathy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1775396092
Chronic postrheumatic arthropathy is an inflammatory, multisystem autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. It was initially described in patients with rheumatic fever, but, at present, is associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is characterised by painless reversible ulnar deformities, such as swan neck, thumb subluxation, ulnar deviation, "boutonniere" and hallux valgus, along with absence of articular erosions on plain radiographs. An association with hypermobility syndrome is suggested, and several studies have attempted to identify an association of different antibodies with Jaccoud arthropathy in SLE patients.
