Rheumatoid arthritis causes a different type of joint destruction to osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease that can cause a number of problems. Among these, rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation of the lining of joints. The most commonly affected joints in the hand are the knuckles at the base of the fingers (the MCP joints).
