From: Dorso-ventral osteophytes of interphalangeal joints correlate with cartilage damage and synovial inflammation in hand osteoarthritis: a histological/radiographical study

Fig. 2

Joint damage in distal interphalangeal (DIP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints with or without the presence of dorso-ventral osteophytes (dvOPs). dvOPs were evaluated radiographically. Joint damage was determined by applying either a radiographic (Kellgren/Lawrence) shown on the right hand side of the graphs or histological (Mankin) score displayed on the left hand side of the graphs. The left and right y-axes show the distinct scales of the respective scores. A Data of the total cohort (joints with and without osteoarthritis) is represented. *p < 0.0001, **p < 0.005. B Data of a subgroup analysis of solely osteoarthritis joints (determined by a Mankin score > 5). *p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.03. Error bars represent the standard deviations
