OSTEOARTHRITIS CARTILAGE , 2005, vol. 13, n° 5, p. 361-367 Doc n°: 119654 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DE55 - PATHOLOGIE GENOU Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of synovitis in painful medial tibiofemoral knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to evaluate correlation between synovitis and the structural severity and progression of tibiofemoral cartilage damage. Design: Study: multicenter, longitudinal, 1-year duration. Patients: primary painful knee OA (ACR criteria) of the medial tibiofemoral compartment, with pain of the signal knee on at least 30 days in the past 2 months, medial joint space width >= 2 mm, at least 10% of one cartilage surface of the medial compartment affected by superficial fibrillation or worse at baseline arthroscopy. Arthroscopic parameters: knee arthroscopy under local anesthesia was performed and videorecorded at entry and after 1 year. Medial chondropathy was scored by using Societe Francaise d'Arthroscopie (SFA) score (0-100) and reader's overall assessment (VAS score, 100 mm). Progression of medial chondropathy was defined by a change in SFA and VAS scores over 4.5 and 8.0 mm after 1 year, respectively. Medial perimeniscal synovium was scored as normal (few translucent and slender villi, fine vascular network), reactive (proliferation of opaque villi), or inflammatory (hypervascularization and/or proliferation of hypertrophic and hyperemic villi). Medial chondropathy and synovitis were scored by a single reader blind to chronology of paired videotapes. Results: Four hundred and twenty-two patients were enrolled (mean age: 61 years, females: 59%, body mass index: 31, mean disease duration: 4 years) and completed the 1-year study. Synovial abnormalities were present in 50% of the patients with reactive and inflammatory aspects in 29% and 21% of the patients, respectively. Patients with a reactive or inflammatory medial synovium had a more severe medial chondropathy. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI |
