It is unknown whether joint inflammation precedes other articular tissue damage in osteoarthritis. Therefore, this study aims to determine if synovitis precedes the development of radiographic knee OA (ROA). The participants in this nested case-control study were selected from knees in the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) that had a Kellgren Lawrence grading (KLG)=0 baseline (BL). These knees were evaluated annually with radiography and non contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) over 4-years. MRIs were assessed for effusion-synovitis and Hoffa-synovitis. Case knees were defined by radiographic knee osteoarthritis (ROA) (KLG >=2) on the postero-anterior knee radiographs at any assessment after baseline. Radiographs were assessed at P0 (time of onset of radiographic knee OA), 1 year prior to P0 (P-1) and at BL. Controls were participants who did not develop incident ROA (iROA) from baseline to 48 months). 133 knees of 120 persons with ROA (83 females) were matched to 133 control knees (83 females). Odds ratios (OR) for occurrence of iROA associated with the presence of effusion-synovitis at BL, P-1 and PO were 1.56 (95% CI 0.86–2.81), 3.23 (1.72–6.06) and 4.7(1.10–2.95), respectively. The ORs for the occurrence of iROA associated with the presence of Hoffa-synovitis at BL, P-1 and P0 were 1.80 (1.1–2.95), 2.47 (1.45–4.23) and 2.40 (1.43–4.04), respectively. Effusion-synovitis and Hoffa-synovitis strongly predicted the development of incident ROA.
