Erosive Hand Osteoarthritis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Proteomic Analysis in Sera From Patients With Erosive Hand Osteoarthritis
Hand osteoarthritis is a common phenotype of osteoarthritis which affects about 70 % of the
elderly population. Usually considered as a minor illness, it nevertheless leads to an
important functional impairment. The mechanism of this disease is still poorly known.
Furthermore there are 2 different subtypes : erosive and non erosive hand osteoarthritis from
which mechanisms may differ.
Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study recruiting patients with hand osteoarthritis addressed in
consultation of rheumatology and plastic surgery in Rouen University Hospital.
Two groups of patients will be studied: 20 patients with non erosive subtype of hand
osteoarthritis and 20 patients with erosive subtype of hand osteoarthritis.
A clinical evaluation of hand osteoarthritis will be performed. Blood sample for proteomic
analysis will be taken. Hand MRI and Bone Mineral Analyser will be performed.
