Delineating the Application of Ultrasound in Detecting Synovial Abnormalities of the Subtalar Joint in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

To investigate the frequency of ultrasound (US)–detectable involvement of the subtalar joint (STJ), to compare clinical versus US assessment of the STJ, and to compare different scanning approaches to the STJ in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
