Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy consists of digital clubbing, increased periosteal activity of the tubular bones, arthralgias, and joint effusion. It is characterized by abnormal proliferation of the skin, soft tissues, and osseous tissues in the distal parts of extremities. There are 2 forms of the disease, primary and secondary. Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, also called pachydermoperiostosis, comprises digital clubbing, periostosis, and pachydermia and is a rare genetic disease. In contrast, secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is associated with various pulmonary, cardiac, and other conditions. This activity reviews the etiology, presentation, evaluation, and management of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and reviews the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing the condition.
