A new radiologic classification of juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) of the knee joint is presented. Osteoporosis, epiphyseal enlargement, erosions, subchondral cyst formation and deformity of the joint surfaces are expressed in terms of a score. No attention is paid to the joint space or soft tissues. Thirty knee joints in 15 patients with JCA were evaluated according to the radiologic classification. There was a good correlation between the radiologic score and the clinical findings. The inter- and intraobserver variation was low. The classification system is proposed as a valuable tool for measuring the degree of knee joint destruction in evaluation of the natural course or results of treatment in JCA.
本文提出了一种膝关节幼年型慢性关节炎（JCA）的新放射学分类方法。骨质疏松、骨骺增大、侵蚀、软骨下囊肿形成和关节面畸形均以评分表示。未关注关节间隙或软组织情况。根据该放射学分类方法对15例JCA患者的30个膝关节进行了评估。放射学评分与临床结果之间存在良好的相关性。观察者间和观察者内的差异较小。该分类系统被认为是评估JCA自然病程或治疗结果时测量膝关节破坏程度的一种有价值的工具。
