Abstract

The most common extraintestinal manifestation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is musculoskeletal disease. Arthritis associated with IBD is distinct from rheumatoid arthritis and is classified with an extended disease group, namely the spondyloarthropathies (SpA). The spondyloarthropathies share common pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and approaches to investigation and management. Remarkably, they also provide for evolution of the clinical phenotype across tissue compartments, e.g., an IBD dominant presentation may evolve to include significant musculoskeletal or ocular involvement. Such disease developments may impose substantial novel impact on quality of life and require an altered management approach and prioritization. Indeed they may become the dominant clinical issue over time, transiently or in perpetuity. Cross-disciplinary recognition of the propensity for a developing presentation and management of disease evolution is therefore essential. Herein we summarize the key elements of the musculoskeletal elements required for the management of IBD and its wider disease spectrum.
