Of the different inflamed tissues in MTP-joints, predominantly MRI-detected tenosynovitis was associated with walking-disabilities. Likewise a reduction in tenosynovitis related to a decrease in walking-disabilities. This increases our understanding of the involvement of tenosynovitis in walking-disabilities in early arthritis.
