title: Juvenile chronic arthritis: radiologic manifestations in the foot and ankle.
abstract: Juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) is the most common connective tissue disease affecting the articular structures in children. This paper examines radiographic findings in the foot and ankle of patients with JCA. In addition, the importance of foot and ankle radiographs in distinguishing juvenile-onset ankylosing spondylitis from two other subclasses of JCA are discussed.
