Synovial histopathology in common orthopaedic joint conditions assessed with a modified Krenn synovitis score.
Abstract
PURPOSE: Synovial pathology impacts joint disease progression and clinical outcome. The goal of this study was to modify Krenn synovitis score for more accurate and comprehensive evaluation of common orthopaedic joint conditions. METHODS: T cells and collagen intensity, respectively. RESULTS: cells did not correlate with the intensity of synovial collagen and was not different between synovitis and non-synovitis samples. CONCLUSION: While maintaining the concept and basic elements of the Krenn synovitis score, MKSS incorporated more accurate inflammatory infiltration and detailed fibrosis. It could provide a more comprehensive evaluation of synovial pathology in common orthopaedic joint conditions.
