The oligoarticular type of juvenile arthritis, which has fewer joints affected, is indicated by four or fewer joints being inflamed with the ankles and knees, the larger joints, being more commonly affected. The children present as feeling well but may exhibit a limp when they walk. If the child appears to only have one hip affected then the diagnosis should be questioned as they are more likely to have a different condition such as Perthes disease. Chronic arthritic problems can lead to weakness and wasting of the main extensor muscles of the knee, with tightness of the hamstrings leading to a flexion contracture of the knee. Asymmetric arthritis just in one leg can produce a leg length discrepancy.
The polyarticular type of juvenile arthritis, which has a larger number of joints affected, is indicated by five or more joints becoming inflamed in a symmetrical manner, the same joints being inflamed on both sides. A low level fever may be present and if the joints are badly limited in terms of range of motion there is likely to be weakness of the associated muscles and a limitation in function. Examining the patient thoroughly is crucial to determine if they do have the diagnosis of juvenile arthritis, where they have particular difficulties and which form of arthritis they possess.
To establish the diagnosis of arthritis on the examination of a joint an effusion (swelling fluid within the joint capsule) must be present along with other likely signs and symptoms such as redness, warmth, pain and limited joint movement. Effusion of a joint may not be apparent in many joints such as the hips but in those cases the limited joint motions and pain will be apparent. The diagnosis may not be apparent initially as the arthritis can come on at the time of the fevers and the rash but it can also be delayed for some months. Liver and lymph node enlargement can be evident with tender muscles on examination. One joint is often affected in the fewer joint form of juvenile arthritis.
In the many jointed polyarticular form of juvenile arthritis the weight bearing joints are typically affected in a symmetrical pattern, as are the small joints of the hand. There may be loss of the articular cartilage with areas of cartilage erosion and in some cases a fusion across the joint, with thickening of the synovial membranes and effusions within the joints. Long term changes in a joint which is arthritic can include partial dislocation, joint stiffness and contractures, bony enlargement and deformities, especially of the fingers. Other findings can be loss of bone stock around the joints and narrowing of the joint spaces due to cartilage loss.
A reduction of extension in the neck may not produce any symptoms but it is important to identify this as it can indicate arthritic changes in the cervical spine which can lead to partial dislocation (subluxation) of the upper neck bones, a potentially dangerous situation. The neck bones can also fuse together along the posterior structures. The jaw joints, the tempero-mandibular joints, may also be affected and lead to reduced amount of growth in the lower jaw with inability to open the mouth as wide as normal. There may also be involvement of the eyes in the inflammatory process.
Management of patients with juvenile arthritic diseases is best accomplished by a multi-disciplinary team which include treatments of patient and family education, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, school functioning and medication. Little success can be gained by using individual treatments on their own. If the patient is reviewed at regular intervals then the medication can be routinely adjusted so that the number of arthritic joints and the stiffness in the morning reduces until there are no symptomatic joints. The multidisciplinary team typically consist of a nurse, occupational therapist, social workers, physiotherapist and a paediatric rheumatologist.
Surgical care is not typically engaged although joint injections of steroids may be useful in some cases. Joint replacement can be used for hip or knee arthritis in patients with polyarticular arthritis but is usually delayed until skeletal maturity means bone growth has stopped. Activity is usually encouraged as long term rest is unhelpful and increased activity indicates a better outcome.
