Description: The initial presentation of RA is the foot and ankle in 16-19% of cases. In time most patients will develop symptoms in the foot and ankle. The forefoot is more likely to be involved early on the disease than the hindfoot. The midfoot is also involved with radiological changes but this is less likely to give symptoms.
