Osteophyte formation reduces the incidence of TKA in patients with RA who have advanced joint damage. Key Points • Older age and Larsen grade were independent predictors of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. • Periarticular osteophyte formation reduced the incidence of TKA in RA patients with Larsen grades III-V.
