Jaccoud’s syndrome

A rare joint disease in which recurring bouts of arthritis affect multiple joints. The fingers show prominent ulnar deviation with subluxation of the metacarpals that can be reduced manually; typically there is no loss of cartilage or bone erosion. This syndrome has been associated with several diseases, including rheumatic fever, progressive systemic sclerosis, sarcoidosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
