The phrase "articular involvement" is not correct; did you mean "articular involvement"? If this is the case, it can be used in medical or anatomical contexts to refer to the involvement of joints in a condition or disease.
Example: "The patient presented with symptoms indicating articular involvement, suggesting a possible diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis."
Alternatives: "joint involvement" or "articular engagement".
In the evaluation of patients with arthritis, evaluating articular involvement corresponds to evaluating the 'organ' involved in the disease.
This classifies clavicle fractures according to the anatomical site involved (medial end, midshaft, lateral end), articular involvement (sternoclavicular or acromioclavicular joint), displacement, and extent of comminution (Table 1).
DAS28, a score validated in RA [ 9], has proven to be a highly effective tool in previous studies of PsA and biologic agents [ 10- 12] and is suitable for studies involving synovial tissue analysis as it focuses on articular involvement.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is characterized with a variable pattern of articular involvement and systemic symptoms and, thus, it has been classified in several subtypes.
Most commonly seen in the knee, elbow and ankle, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) represents an underlying bony fragment separation from the subchondral region with or without articular involvement.
Destructive changes rarely occur in patients with articular involvement [37].
Unifying hypotheses must explain onset and perpetuation of inflammation, angiogenesis, and hyperplasia within the synovial membrane; articular destruction in cartilage and bone compartments; and the propensity in subsets of patients to manifest extra-articular involvement, variable prognosis, functional decline, and mortality.
However, it is probably more related to fragment size and extent of intra-articular involvement that may lead to communication of the fracture site with intra-articular fluid, which impairs bone healing.
CBCT clearly demonstrates intra-articular extension of the fracture Open image in new window Fig. 5 Complex fracture of the dorsal side of the styloid process of the radius with intra-articular involvement, multiple intra-articular fracture fragments and perilunate dislocation.
Intra-articular involvement of OO was observed in 10%% of the patients [ 1, 3].
An intra-articular involvement of OO is rare and can result in misdiagnosis [ 3– 5, 8].
