We aimed to investigate the relationship between nail involvement and joint manifestations and whether there was a correlation between nail psoriasis severity and bone manifestations in psoriatic patients without symptomatic psoriatic arthritis in plaque type psoriasis. Thirty-one patients with nail involvement (16 men, 15 women, mean age 45.29+/-18.73) and 39 patients without nail involvement (16 men, 23 women, mean age 38.41+/-17.33) were enrolled in the study. X-ray of the hands and feet with magnification were performed. The distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint and bone (tuft of terminal phalanx) were evaluated. A scoring method was performed on the patients with nail involvement. There was no difference in DIP joint involvement in patients with or without finger- and toenail involvement (p=0.085 and p=0.062, respectively). However, the prevalence of bone involvement was higher in patients with finger- and toenail involvement than without finger- and toenail involvement (p=0.039 and p=0.021, respectively). A positive correlation was also determined between finger- and toenail psoriasis severity and bone involvement severity (r=0.379, p=0.001 and r=0.288, p=0.015).
