Referring to 17 personal observations, the authors endeavour to clarify the main clinical and radiological traits of the destructive arthropathies occuring in patients suffering from diffuse, articular chondrocalcinosis. These arthropathies appear to be relatively frequent and older, obese women

Osteoarthritis of the hip joint is a very common disease. There is a minor prevalence of males. By etiology one can distinguish primary (idiopathic) from secondary osteoarthritis. Secondary are due to well-known etiologies as overweight, repetitive traumata, malposture, muscle- and tendon-imbalance

UNASSIGNED Over the past decade, phenotypes have been used to help categorize knee osteoarthritis patients relative to being subject to disease, disease progression, and treatment response. A review of potential phenotype selection is now appropriate. The appeal of using phenotypes is that they most

OBJECTIVE To investigate which structural MR abnormalities discriminate symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA), taking co-occurrence of abnormalities in all compartments into account. METHODS The Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) study is a population-based cohort aged 45-65 years. In 1285

OBJECTIVE To describe the CT appearance of the ageing sacroiliac joints (SJ) and correlate the radiological findings with patients' gender, body mass index (BMI) and, in women, parity. METHODS The study population included 288 consecutive patients who underwent pelvic CT for various indications not

OBJECTIVE To examine use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of knees with no radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis to determine the prevalence of structural lesions associated with osteoarthritis and their relation to age, sex, and obesity. METHODS Population based observational
