While the cartilage and bone abnormalities in osteoarthritis (OA) have been adequately described there are few prospective reviews of the histopathologic changes in OA synovia. Therefore 15 consecutive patients with OA who underwent hip or knee arthroplasty were evaluated and random samples of the synovial membranes were studied. Synovial membrane histopathologic abnormalities were present in all but 2; 9 demonstrated mild or moderate synovitis whereas 4 synovial membranes were markedly inflamed. Inflammatory synovitis is often present in OA.
虽然骨关节炎（OA）中的软骨和骨异常已得到充分描述，但对OA滑膜组织病理学变化的前瞻性综述却很少。因此，对15例连续接受髋或膝关节置换术的OA患者进行了评估，并对滑膜的随机样本进行了研究。除2例患者外，所有患者均存在滑膜组织病理学异常；9例表现为轻度或中度滑膜炎，而4例滑膜明显发炎。炎症性滑膜炎在OA中经常存在。
