Ultrasound-detected osteophytes predict the development of radiographic and clinical features of hand osteoarthritis in the same finger joints 5 years later by Tore K Kvien, Hilde Berner Hammer, Ida K Haugen, Barbara Slatkowsky-Christensen, Alexander Mathiessen

“…These osteophytes were confirmed in the majority of joints where MRI assessment was available. Significant associations were found between ultrasound-detected osteophytes and development of both radiographic OA (OR=4.1, 95% CI 2.0 to 8.1) and clinical bony enlargement (OR=3.5, 95% CI 2.4 to 5.1) and also incident radiographic osteophytes (OR=4.2, 95% CI 2.1 to 8.5) and JSN (OR=5.3, 95% CI 2.1 to 13.4).Conclusion Ultrasound-detected osteophytes predicted incident radiographic and clinical hand OA 5 years later. …”
