  1. Two hundred fingers (196 MCP, 199 PIP, and 200 DIP joints) and 250 MTP joints were examined. The distribution was as follows: psoriasis-associated arthritis = 60 fingers (56 MCP, 59 PIP, and 60 DIP joints) and 150 MTP joints; rheumatoid arthritis = 20 fingers (20 MCP, 20 PIP, and 20 DIP joints) and 50 MTP joints; and healthy control persons = 20 fingers (20 MCP, 20 PIP, and 20 DIP joints) and 50 MTP joints. DIP, distal interphalangeal; MCP, metacarpophalangeal; MTP, metatarsophalangeal; PIP, proximal interphalangeal.
