First-ever classification criteria for #haemochromatosis arthropathy now published! A major step for research & trials in this under-recognised condition. Thanks to the @eular.org task force who made this possible - a privilege to work together since 2020!

The iron fist. The iron fist is a physical sign due to incomplete full flexion of the second and/or third MCP joints. When making a fist, the PIP joints of the second and/or third fingers are raised above the level of the PIP joints of the fourth and fifth fingers, and the fingertips of the second and third fingers may not touch the palm. PIP, proximal interphalangeal, MCP, metacarpophalangeal.

Great talk by @nathan-routledge.bsky.social from @uclqsneuromuscular.bsky.social on his Myositis UK-funded PhD: exploring disease pathways for IBM stratification and therapy. Delighted to be at the Myositis UK charity annual meeting, an event I’ve proudly contributed to for over a decade! #Myositis
