Introduction

Introduction Swelling refers to the increase in volume of tissue due to inflammation or congestion. Most of them are caused by traumatic or organic diseases that stimulate local swelling of the tissue. This disease is more common in rheumatoid arthritis, neck and shoulder syndrome, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, and hyperthyroidism. It is caused by abnormal changes in the body's peripheral circulation due to organic changes. It can also be seen in the case of congestion and swelling caused by traumatic stimulation. It can also be seen in the changes of limb extremities caused by diseases such as liver disease, kidney disease and Raynaud's disease.

Differential diagnosis

Finger softening and atrophy: a clinical manifestation of pseudohypoparathyroidism. Patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism often find rough skin, hyperpigmentation, hair loss, fingernails, soft and atrophy, and even shedding; cataracts can occur in the intraocular lens.

Hemorrhoids and pain in the fingers (toes) and calves: one of the clinical symptoms of Caschin-Beck disease. Kaschin-Beck disease, Kaschin-Beck disease, is a kind of endemic cartilage and joint deformity disease, which is a deformed osteoarthrosis with cartilage necrosis.

Finger infarction: crescent cell anaemia (sickle-cell anemia) is an inherited blood disease. It can also be a homozygous sickle cell disease, and its clinical manifestations are: varying degrees of hemolytic anemia, mild jaundice. Vascular occlusion crisis is a prominent manifestation, often severe pain in the trunk and limbs, including visceral, bone, joint and muscle pain, especially in the metacarpal, epiphyseal and finger (toe) infarction, infection, dehydration, Hypoxia and acidosis are the incentives. Visceral and cerebrovascular infarction have corresponding symptoms and signs. If both couples are carriers of sickle cell anemia genes, 25% of their children may be severe sickle cell anemia, and 50% may be mild sickle cell anemia. There are currently 50 million people worldwide facing the threat of sickle cell anemia. In Africa alone, 300,000 newborns are carriers of sickle cell anemia genes, and 50% of them are born less than 5 years old.

Missing nail: nail-patella syndrome or hereditary osteo-onychodysplasia, a hereditary disease It is characterized by dysplasia or loss of the tibia, nail dystrophy, elbow dysplasia, sacral horn and renal failure. The syndrome of bone and nail damage, the nail abnormality includes discoloration, spoon-shaped nails, longitudinal tendons, finger nails or nutritional disorders, triangular nail shadows. Defects or hypoplasia of the nail, unilateral or bilateral humeral loss or dysplasia, posterior tibial bone spur, elbow and valgus valgus deformity, etc., are called nail-bone quadruple syndrome.
