Early Changes of the Cortical Micro‐Channel System in the Bare Area of the Joints of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract

CoMiCs represent a new form of structural change in the joints of patients with RA. Although the number of CoMiCs increases with age, RA patients develop CoMiCs much earlier in life, and such changes can even occur at the onset of the disease. CoMiCs therefore represent an interesting new opportunity to assess structural changes in RA.
