Fig. 1 OA is typically a slow, insidious and debilitating process that, like other prominent chronic diseases, is likely more amenable to remission early in the disease process. With a renewed focus on acute joint injury and the prevalence of severe consequences, the concept that “Joint infarction like myocardial infarction requires acute intervention” is conveyed to foster debate, discussion, and research, in order to discover new treatment paradigms to make a lasting difference in outcomes.
