Musculoskeletal emergencies include tendon rupture, carpal tunnel syndrome, rupture of synovial cyst (" pseudothrombophlebitis " syndrome), subluxations in the cervical spine, cricoarytenoid arthritis and septic arthritis. Ocular complications can be serious emergencies, as can vasculitis and rheumatoid nodules. Drug reactions represent an additional group of urgent problems. While rheumatoid arthritis is characteristically an indolent disease, failure to recognize its urgent complications can cause significant morbidity and mortality.
肌肉骨骼急症包括肌腱断裂、腕管综合征、滑膜囊肿破裂（“假血栓性静脉炎”综合征）、颈椎半脱位、环杓关节炎和化脓性关节炎。眼部并发症可能是严重急症，血管炎和类风湿结节也一样。药物反应是另一类紧急问题。虽然类风湿关节炎通常是一种进展缓慢的疾病，但未能识别其紧急并发症可能导致严重的发病率和死亡率。
