Histological synovitis and radiographic damage in knee osteoarthritis: insights from a comprehensive analysis of ultrasound-guided synovial biopsies in 161 patients Open
Objective Synovial inflammation plays a crucial role in osteoarthritis (OA) by producing key cytokines that mediate synovium–cartilage interaction and drive damage progression. In this study, we aimed to evaluate relationships between hist…
