Superior to the Tönnis angle in cases without joint space narrowing or subluxation. [21] The medial point of the sourcil is at the same height as the most superior point of caput femoris. −6 to 12° [21] >12° is a risk factor for instability <-6° is a risk factor for pincer impingement
The TMC joint is a synovial joint between the trapezium bone of the wrist and the metacarpal bone at the base of the thumb. This joint is a so-called saddle joint (articulatio sellaris), unlike the CMC joints of the other four fingers which are ellipsoid joints. [17] This means that the surfaces of the TMC joint are both concave and convex.
Radiologic images demonstrating degenerative joint damage. Other symptoms that are more typical of psoriatic arthritis than other forms of arthritis include enthesitis (inflammation in the Achilles tendon (at the back of the heel) or the plantar fascia (bottom of the feet)), and dactylitis (sausage-like swelling of the fingers or toes).

While x-rays may not be helpful early in the diagnosis/treatment, they may show subtle increase in joint space and tissue swelling. [11] Later findings include joint space narrowing due to destruction of the joint. [14] Ultrasound is effective at detecting joint effusions. [14]
