A Family History Of Knee Joint Replacement Increases The Progression Of Knee Joint Radiographic Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Volume Loss Over Ten Years
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease of multifactorial origin with a modest but significant heritable effect for disease severity in the knee joint. The aim…Abstract Number: 50 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Cartilage Matrix Remodeling and Activation Of Canonical Wnt- Signaling Precedes Calcification and OA-Like Changes In Mice
Background/Purpose: Calcification of cartilage is a common finding during osteoarthritis (OA) and is directly linked to the severity of cartilage degradation. We have found in…Abstract Number: 2729 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Identification Of Osteoarthritis Patients With Chronic Inflammation Driven Disease Progression
Background/Purpose: In osteoarthritis (OA) it is evident that a subset of patients experiences chronic tissue inflammation and may benefit from anti-inflammatory treatment. The systemic inflammation…Abstract Number: 80 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Tidemark Duplication In Osteoarthritis: Evidence Of Incremental Progression?
