About Rheumatoid Vasculitis

Rheumatoid vasculitis is a serious, inflammatory condition affecting the blood vessels, which can occur as a complication of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or other pediatric autoimmune diseases. In pediatric orthopedics, the focus is on managing the severe musculoskeletal consequences, such as joint damage, skin ulcers, and digital ischemia (reduced blood flow to fingers and toes), which can lead to deformities and functional impairment. Treatment is multidisciplinary, involving aggressive medical management with immunosuppressants and biologics to control the underlying inflammation. Surgical interventions by a pediatric orthopedic surgeon may be necessary to address complications like necrotic tissue, severe joint destruction, or to improve limb perfusion and function, aiming to preserve growth and mobility in the developing child.

Key Highlights

Addresses severe vascular and joint complications of autoimmune disease in children.Multidisciplinary approach combining medical and surgical expertise.Aims to preserve limb function, prevent deformities, and support normal growth.Can alleviate pain and improve quality of life for the pediatric patient.Focuses on long-term musculoskeletal health and mobility.

Who is this surgery for?

Severe digital ischemia or gangrene (tissue death) in fingers or toes due to vasculitis.
Large, non-healing skin ulcers or necrotic lesions caused by vascular inflammation.
Significant joint destruction or deformity from underlying arthritis exacerbated by vasculitis.
Compartment syndrome (increased pressure in muscles) secondary to vascular involvement.
Failure of aggressive medical therapy (immunosuppressants, biologics) to control musculoskeletal damage.
Need for surgical biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of vasculitis when other methods are inconclusive.

How to prepare

Comprehensive evaluation by a pediatric rheumatologist and orthopedic surgeon.
Detailed imaging studies (MRI, angiography, ultrasound) to assess blood vessel and joint damage.
Optimization of medical therapy to control systemic inflammation prior to surgery.
Pre-operative blood tests to assess infection risk and overall health status.
Discussion of the surgical plan, risks, and expected outcomes with the child's family.
Fasting as instructed by the anesthesiology team.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or systemic infection.
Bleeding or hematoma formation.
Poor wound healing or wound breakdown, especially with compromised blood flow.
Damage to nerves or blood vessels.
Recurrence of vasculitis or progression of the underlying disease.
Anesthesia-related risks.
Need for further surgeries (e.g., amputation in severe cases of gangrene).
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay for pain management, wound care, and monitoring of vascular status.
Immobilization with splints or casts may be required to protect surgical sites.
Strict elevation of the affected limb to reduce swelling.
Gradual reintroduction of physical and occupational therapy to restore function and strength.
Close follow-up with both the orthopedic surgeon and rheumatologist.
Continued aggressive medical management of the underlying autoimmune condition.
Careful monitoring for signs of infection or poor wound healing.
Nutritional support to promote healing.

Typical hospital stay: 5-14 days
Expected recovery time: Several weeks to several months

PATIENT REVIEW

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow...

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow in a playground fall, and Dr. Prashanth Inna was absolutely phenomenal. He explained the complex procedure in simple terms, calmed our nerves, and the minimally invasive surgery went perfectly. His follow-up care was thorough, and she's now back to gymnastics without any issues!
