Which two joints are never involved in Rhematoid Arthritis?
1) Spine?
2) Distal interphalangeal joints?
Please let me know. I am reading Kaplan medicine notes and this is one of the fill in the blanks.
Thanks!

they can have atlanto-axial subluxation,
so iŽd say DIP joints.

most manifestations involve PIP joint i.e. swan neck deformity & bouteniere's deformity.
cervical spine is most commonly affected.
only lumbar spine is spared usually.
