Jaccoud’s arthropathy (JA) is a non-erosive, deforming arthritis affecting 10-35% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [1]. JA commonly presents with ulnar deviation, swan-neck and boutonnière deformities, non-erosive subluxations, and Z-deformity of the thumb [1,2]. Conservative management of JA includes anti-inflammatories, corticosteroids, and methotrexate [3]. While some case studies address surgical intervention for JA, there are no clear treatment guidelines [4]. Thus, we present a case of botulinum toxin injections for JA.
