Recent advancements in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have improved patient outcomes, but many still experience disease progression, potentially leading to joint replacement surgery. In this scoping review, we examine the relationship between PsA and orthopedic surgery, focusing on the risks and temporal trends of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the prevalence of postoperative complications, and the effectiveness of these procedures in PsA. The included studies suggest that PsA patients have an overall higher risk of undergoing THA and TKA compared to the general population, but with temporal trends showing a decreased risk for patients diagnosed in recent years. Acute complications, such as renal failure, stroke, and postoperative infections, may be more common in PsA patients than in those with osteoarthritis after THA and TKA. No significant differences were found in pain, function, or satisfaction between PsA, skin psoriasis, and osteoarthritis patients after THA. A key conclusion from our review is the need to strengthen the collaboration between rheumatologists and orthopedic surgeons, as interdisciplinary evaluation is crucial for improving the outcomes of PsA patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.

Abstract
Recent advancements in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have improved patient outcomes, but many still experience disease progression, potentially leading to joint replacement surgery. In this scoping review, we examine the relationship between PsA and orthopedic surgery, focusing on the risks and temporal trends of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the prevalence of postoperative complications, and the effectiveness of these procedures in PsA. The included studies suggest that PsA patients have an overall higher risk of undergoing THA and TKA compared to the general population, but with temporal trends showing a decreased risk for patients diagnosed in recent years. Acute complications, such as renal failure, stroke, and postoperative infections, may be more common in PsA patients than in those with osteoarthritis after THA and TKA. No significant differences were found in pain, function, or satisfaction between PsA, skin psoriasis, and osteoarthritis patients after THA. A key conclusion from our review is the need to strengthen the collaboration between rheumatologists and orthopedic surgeons, as interdisciplinary evaluation is crucial for improving the outcomes of PsA patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
