Histopathological and immunohistochemical study in the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament of the knee with rheumatoid arthritis in Iraqi patients

Key Points

To investigate the structural and inflammatory changes in the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments of the knee due to rheumatoid arthritis.
Conducted a histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of knee ligament tissues from Iraqi patients with RA.
Identified significant structural changes in both anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.
Documented inflammatory responses correlating with disease severity in RA patients.

Abstract

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes structural changes and inflammatory responses which damage the knee tissues that include the cruciate ligaments. Scientists will gain knowledge about ligament involvement in chronic joint diseases through their research to detect these changes.
