Abstract

Objectives: Subunits of the nail can be evaluated by nail ultrasonography (NUSG). The purposes of this study are to document NUSG properties (both nail-based and participant-based evaluations) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and healthy controls and to explore the final scorings.
