Figure 5

Representative ultrasound images of intra-articular synovitis and tenosynovitis in patient 5. Shown are the representative ultrasound images of intra-articular synovitis (A, C, E, G, I, K) and tenosynovitis (B, D, F, H, J, L) in patient 5 before (A-F) and after treatment (G-L). All images before treatment demonstrate synovial/tenosynovial hypertrophy, which accompanies increased power Doppler signals (A-F). Additional movie files show this in more detail (see Additional files1,2,3,4,5 and6). (A and G) Longitudinal view of the dorsal aspect of the 3rd proximal interphalangeal joint in the right hand; (B and H) longitudinal view of the flexor tendon of the third finger on the right hand; (C and I) oblique view of the anterior-lateral aspect of the suprapatellar recess in the right knee; (D and J) a longitudinal view of the tibialis anterior tendon in the right ankle; (E and K) longitudinal view of the dorsal aspect of the third metatarsophalangeal joint of the right foot; (F and L) longitudinal view of the flexor tendon of the first toe of the right foot. *Intra-articular synovial hypertrophy; **tenosynovial hypertrophy. PP, proximal phalanx; MP, metacarpal; FD, flexor digitorum; TA, tibialis anterior; MT, metatarsal.
