RA tipically involves MCP and PIP but it may also affect other joints: knees, hips, ankles, cervical spine. When it goes to cervical spine - quadriplegia develops.

its definitely RA..i remember doing a q on it and Ra was the answer. it was abt a pt whoa had arthiritis and suddenly developed quadriplegia. and u had to choose btw dif arthiritides in the answer options. the correct one was RA due to C1 and C2 involvement.
