Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
We have a great article on this topic that I will link you to. We cannot say if you will end up with psoriatic arthritis due to an injury but according to most of the information I have read, there may be some kind of a connection due to any inflammation in your join due to a tear. There is no clear link but in general, it’s estimated that up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis will eventually develop PsA.
