Hand Radiographs

Objective.To evaluate whether features of radiographic hand osteoarthritis (OA) are associated with quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-defined knee cartilage thickness, radiographic knee OA, and 1-year structural progression.Methods.A total of 765 participants in Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI; 455 women, mean age 62.5 yrs, SD 9.4) obtained hand radiographs (at baseline), knee radiographs (baseline and Year 1), and knee MRI (baseline and Year 1). Hand radiographs were scored for presence of osteophytes and joint space narrowing (JSN). Knee radiographs were scored according to the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) scale. Cartilage thickness in the medial and lateral femorotibial compartments was measured quantitatively from coronal FLASHwe images. We examined the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between features of hand OA (total osteophyte and JSN scores) and knee cartilage thickness, 1-year knee cartilage thinning (above smallest detectable change), presence of knee OA (KL grade ≥ 3), and progression of knee OA (KL change ≥ 1) by linear and logistic regression. Both hand OA features were included in a multivariate model (if p ≤ 0.25) adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI).Results.Hand JSN was associated with reduced knee cartilage thickness (ß = −0.02, 95% CI −0.03, −0.01) in the medial femorotibial compartment, while hand osteophytes were associated with the presence of radiographic knee OA (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.03–1.18; multivariate models) with both hand OA features as independent variables adjusted for age, sex, and BMI). Radiographic features of hand OA were not associated with 1-year cartilage thinning or radiographic knee OA progression.Conclusion.Our results support a systemic OA susceptibility and possibly different mechanisms for osteophyte formation and cartilage thinning.

The article discusses the possibilities and search for the optimal concept of diagnosis of hand osteoarthritis (OA). The data of numerous studies with focus on the comparison of sensitivity and specificity of the main techniques in this type of pathology – standard radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are presented. Determination of the earliest symptoms of OA allows to predict the development of the disease and begin its therapy. The joint space narrowing due to the loss of articular cartilage is the earliest radiological symptom of OA, which is observed in the advanced stage of the disease. MRI, unlike radiography, makes it possible to visualize the articular cartilage, fluid in the joint cavity, bone marrow edema and soft tissues, but it is more expensive and time-consuming method. At present the main difficulty lies in the absence of a standardized system for assessing the MRI hand OA manifestations, as well as insufficient number of investigations in this area.
