The main clinical manifestations are swelling and pain caused by synovial membrane of facet joint, then cartilage destruction and narrowing of joint space. In the late stage, severe bone destruction and absorption lead to joint stiffness, deformity and dysfunction.

Secondly, the affected joints were characterized by morning stiffness, pain, tenderness, swelling and limited movement. They were initially migratory and then fixed. It is involved by one or more joints. It is symmetrical. The small joints of hand and foot were involved first, and the proximal interphalangeal joint, metacarpophalangeal joint and wrist joint were mostly involved. The most common deformities were fusiform enlargement of proximal interphalangeal joint, claw hand, swan neck deformity of fingers, ulnar deviation, subluxation of metacarpophalangeal joint and wrist fixation.
