Radiosynoviorthesis in haemophilic joint disease.

The effects of radiosynoviorthesis on chronic haemophilic arthropathic joints were studied in six patients with severe haemophilia by a follow up study which spanned two and a half years. On clinical grounds the treatment was successful because pain and bleeding frequency diminished, although radiographic examination showed further deterioration of the treated joint. Chromosome damage was not detected. We conclude that radiosynoviorthesis is apparently changing the bleeding pattern of articular tissues without arresting the destruction and deformation of joints.

Chondrex: new marker of joint disease.

Chondrex, a major secretory protein of human chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts, is increased in serum of patients with joint and cartilage disease. We have developed a sandwich-type ELISA for quantifying chondrex in serum. The interassay CVs were 2.8-3.7% and the average within-run and total CVs were 3.6% and 5.4%, respectively. The limit of detectability by linear dilution was 20 micrograms/L, recovery upon dilution was 102% +/- 5%, and analytical recovery (of added analyte) was 98% +/- 11%. The reference interval (central 90% interval) for chondrex in healthy adults was 25-95 micrograms/L. Chondrex values for patients with active rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis were significantly greater than in healthy adults, inactive rheumatoid arthritis patients, and diabetes patients (P < 0.05). In patients treated with disease-modifying antirheumatic drug therapy, decreasing chondrex values reflected the clinical improvement observed in responders, whereas the values were maintained or increased in nonresponders. In conclusion, chondrex may be a useful marker in the clinical investigation of arthritis.

Intra-articular injections for joint disease in horses.

Lameness remains an important source of reduced performance in many types of horses. Pain referable to joints is among the most common causes, and intra-articular injections remain a common and important means of addressing lameness referable to joints in horses.

Replantation of digits or hands followed by destructive joint disease.

The clinical records and radiographs of 45 patients who had undergone replantation of a total hand, or a part thereof, were reviewed in order to determine the prevalence and the type of articular changes occurring distal to the site of anastomoses. In three patients, destructive joint changes were observed, consisting of bony fragmentation, spiculation, and cystic or erosive lesions. These changes, which developed between five and ten months after replantation, are most likely neuropathic or osteonecrotic in pathogenesis.
