The postmenopausal state and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) lead to a significant decrease of both cortical and trabecular intra-articular bone density. This process in RA patients is a sign for a severe disease course predicting erosive disease.(2) Bone erosion is an important complication of RA and is associated with deformities and disabilities. Insufficient inhibition of structural joint damage by disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) represents an unsolved problem and was reported despite clinical improvement.

Abstract: | The postmenopausal state and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) lead to a significant decrease of both cortical and trabecular intra-articular bone density. This process in RA patients is a sign for a severe disease course predicting erosive disease.(2) Bone erosion is an important complication of RA and is associated with deformities and disabilities. Insufficient inhibition of structural joint damage by disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) represents an unsolved problem and was reported despite clinical improvement. |
