Diabetes-induced osteoarthritis: from a new paradigm to a new phenotype

Francis Berenbaum. Ann Rheum Dis. 2011 Aug.

Abstract

Several epidemiological and experimental data support the hypothesis that diabetes could be an independent risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA), at least in some patients, leading to the concept of a diabetes-induced OA phenotype. If confirmed, this new paradigm will have a dramatic impact on prevention of OA initiation and progression.
