title: [Orthopedic rheumatology].
abstract: The most common joint destructive chronic inflammatory diseases in orthopedic rheumatology are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and spondyloarthropathy. They usually have a multilocular, characteristic progressive joint destructive course, which must be taken into account when planning surgical treatment. The establishment of a sequence of surgical procedures with equivalent indications follows special rheumatologic orthopedic principles. The choice of surgical procedure depends on the joint, the surrounding soft tissues and stage of destruction but the increased surgical risk and complications caused by the disease, specific medications and frequent comorbidities also have to be considered. Due to numerous perioperative characteristics close interdisciplinary cooperation especially with internist rheumatologists, anesthetists and physiotherapists is essential for a successful rheumatologic orthopedic therapy.
