Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is now considered an inflammatory disease in which synovitis has an active role in the generation of pain and structural progression. Despite attempts to reposition treatments for rheumatoid arthritis without conclusive success, synovitis remains a viable therapeutic target to slow progression and enhance the quality of life of OA patients. This review highlights the main targets explored today at the clinical and preclinical levels with the goal to not only relieve the symptoms but also to provide real disease modifying treatments that can prevent further joint damage and improve joint function by treating synovitis.
期刊介绍:
Skeletal Radiology provides a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. While emphasizing the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities, the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach, reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus, the anatomical, pathological, physiological, clinical, metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton receive appropriate consideration.
This is the Journal of the International Skeletal Society and the Official Journal of the Society of Skeletal Radiology and the Australasian Musculoskelelal Imaging Group.
