Psoriasis and the risk of foot and ankle tendinopathy or enthesopathy: A population-based study

Objectives: Cross-sectional imaging studies have demonstrated that patients with psoriasis often have asymptomatic bone and tendon changes of the foot and ankle consistent with tendinopathy or enthesopathy. While considered an extra-articular manifestation of psoriatic arthritis, it is unknown if psoriasis patients without psoriatic arthritis have an increased risk of symptomatic foot and ankle tendinopathy or enthesopathy compared with the general population.
