Is polymyalgia rheumatica associated with extensor tendon tenosynovitis but not with synovitis of the hands : a magnetic resonance imaging study?
Our data support the view that tenosynovitis, especially of the extensor tendons, is a frequent event in PMR, unrelated to clinical involvement of the hand. This finding is in agreement with the concept of PMR as a disease of extra-articular structures.
The TiZr groups especially the modMATiZr group showed slower and less biofilm formation. In combination with the good biocompatibility, both modMA surfaces seem to be interesting candidates for surfaces in transgingival implant design.
