(A&B): Baseline axial-3D-WATS gradient of the right hand revealed high signal intensity of the distal ulna consistent with marrow edema along with thickened edematous synovium of the distal radio-ulnar joint showing high signal intensity. (C&D) One year axial-3D-WATS revealed multiple bony erosions of the carpal bones (capitate and scaphoid). (E) One year posteroanterior (PA) radiograph of the same patient did not show erosions seen on MRI with normal bone density.

Objective: To determine the joint damage progression using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to investigate the predictive value of early MRI for subsequent development of MRI erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methodology: We studied forty RA female patients. Their mean age was 32.7 (±8.6) years. Patients underwent clinical, labor...

Background:
Multiple rice bodies (RB) in the shoulder joint is a rare disorder of unknown etiology that requires percutaneous drainage or surgical operation.
Case presentation:
We reported arthroscopic removal of hundreds of RB in the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa in two cases by our "chopsticks technique". One was associated with seropositive rh...
Objective:
Painful knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has been associated with joint inflammation. There is, however, little literature correlating signs of localized inflammation with contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of synovium. This study examined the relationship between clinical and functional markers of localized knee inflammat...
Objective
To compare the clinical effectiveness of cortical button (CB), cross-pin (CP) and compression with interference screws (IS) fixation techniques in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using hamstring graft.
Methods
Studies were systematically retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science up to May 20, 2021...
In the last decades, the concept of preclinical rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has become established. In fact, the discovery that disease mechanisms start years before the onset of clinical RA has been one of the major recent insights in the understanding of RA pathogenesis. In accordance with the complex nature of the disease, preclinical events exten...
Background
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common inflammatory disorder characterized primarily by synovitis and pannus formation in multiple joints, causing joints destruction and irreversible disability in most cases. Early diagnosis and effective therapy monitoring of RA are of importance for achieving the favorable prognosis.
Methods
We first p...
