Koebner phenomenon in connective tissue
WorkSafeBC Evidence-Based Practice Group, Martin CW
Record ID 32018005430
English
Authors' objectives:
To investigate the Koebner phenomenon (i.e. the formation of isomorphic lesions on healthy skin, following a cutaneous trauma) in connective tissue (between tendon or ligament and bone).
Authors' results and conclusions:
Nineteen published studies were identified from our literature search. After examining the titles and abstract of these nineteen studies, four studies were thought to be relevant, and were retrieved in full. below. Two further articles were identified as a result of the manual search. Although the Koebner phenomenon is largely seen in association with dermatological conditions, at present, there seems to be a “deep Koebner phenomenon” associated with joint inflammation due to trauma among people with psoriasis.
Authors' methods:
A comprehensive and systematic literature search was done on May 16, 2023. • The search was done on commercial medical literature databases. A combination of keywords was employed in this search. No limitation, such as on the language or country of publication, was implemented in this literature search. A manual search was also conducted on the references of the articles that were retrieved in full.
