We undertook this study to demonstrate the pattern of onset and the course of arthritis on the traumatised joint in spondyloarthropathy (SpA) initiated by physical trauma. Among 288 patients with SpA, 12 (4.2%) whose arthropathies were associated with trauma were reviewed retrospectively. There were seven patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), three with juvenile onset AS and two undifferentiated SpA. The type of trauma was direct injury to the joint and injuries at other sites, except in spinal surgery, for example. In eight cases the initial evidence of disease was peripheral arthritis. The disease first occurred in traumatised joints in five cases. Only three cases showed recurrent inflammatory episodes in the traumatised joints throughout the disease course. SpA initiated by trauma initially manifested as peripheral arthritis at the traumatised joints in about half of the cases. Inflammatory episodes preferentially involved other joints apart from the traumatised joints throughout the whole course of the disease.
