Therefore, we used in vivo microcomputed tomography (µ-CT) to assess patterns of microarchitectural alterations in the tibial epiphysis using collagen-induced RA in an animal model.Methods: Bovine type II collagen was injected intradermally into the tails of rats for induction of RA. The tibial joints were scanned by in vivo µ-CT at 0, 4, and 8 weeks following injection. Microarchitectural parameters were measured to evaluate alteration patterns of bone microarchitecture at the tibial epiphysis.Results: The microarchitectural alterations in an RA group were significantly different from those in a control group from 0 to 4 weeks and from 4 to 8 weeks following injection (P < 0.05). The distribution of trabecular bone thickness and trabecular bone separation from 0 weeks to 8 weeks differed significantly (P < 0.05).Conclusion: These results indicate that the patterns of microarchitectural alterations at the tibial epiphysis are strongly affected by collagen-induced progression of RA and entail a severe risk of fracture at the tibial epiphysis. This study represents a valuable first approach to tracking periodic and continuous changes in the microarchitectural characteristics of the tibial epiphysis with collagen-induced RA.Keywords: collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis, in vivo microcomputed tomography, periodic microarchitecture alteration pattern, trabecular bone thickness, trabecular bone separationLee JHChun KJKim HSKim SHLee K-YKim DJLim DDove Medical PressarticleRheumatoid arthritisIn vivo micro-computed tomographyperiodic microarchitecture alteration patternTrabecular bone thickness distributionTrabecular bone separation distributionGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 7, Pp 373-382 (2012)
