Subcutaneous nodules, composed of necrotic collagen surrounded by chronic inflammatory cells, occur in about 20% of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, 10% of those with acute rheumatic fever, and 25% of children with granuloma annulare. Similar subcutaneous lesions indistinguishable from rheumatoid nodules may appear in children who do not develop other stigmata of disease. Mesara and ous lesions of granuloma annulare. Therefore, they felt that, in children, these nodules probably represented a clinical variant of granuloma annulare. Beatty3 described nine children aged 11 days to 9 years with nodules on the scalp, ulnar aspect of the arm, dorsum of the foot, and palm of the hand which appeared histologically to be rheumatoid nodules.

The records of 104 patients who underwent reconstructive foot and ankle surgery for deformities secondary to rheumatoid arthritis were reviewed. The use of rheumatoid chemotherapeutic agents, age, sex, rheumatoid nodule status, and the number of concurrent surgical procedures performed was analyzed to determine any association with the postoperative outcome for wound healing and infectious complications. The 104 patients, ranging in age from 23 to 83 years, underwent 725 operative procedures. An overall 32% complication rate was recorded. Analysis of five specific rheumatoid chemotherapeutic agents (NSAIDs, steroids, methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, gold), age, sex, number of operative procedures performed, and presence of rheumatoid nodules, either alone or in combination, failed to prove a statistical association with either a healing or infectious postoperative complication.
