Abstract
Purpose of review: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) diagnosis and classification is currently still based on clinical presentation and general laboratory tests. Some joints such as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and sacroiliac (SI) are hard to assess and define as actively inflamed based on clinical examination. This review addresses these difficult to assess joints and provides the latest evidence for diagnosis and treatment.
Recent findings: Recommendations on clinical examination and radiological examination are available. Recent 2021 ACR recommendations were made for TMJ arthritis and in 2019 for sacroiliitis.
Summary: New evidence to guide clinical suspicion and need for further investigations are available for these hard to assess joints. These guidelines will help healthcare providers in diagnosis and treatment assessment.
