Objective: To quantify inflammatory changes in synovial membranes from orthopaedic "non-inflammatory'' arthropathies (Orth. A).Methods: Synovial membranes from patients with femur fracture, avascular necrosis of the femur, plica syndrome, and meniscus and/or ligament injury (n=23); rheumatoid arthritis (n=28); osteoarthritis (OA; n=25); and from normal controls (n=10) were assessed by light microscopy, a histological synovitis score, immunostaining for CD3, CD20, CD38, CD68, Ki-67 and von Willebrand factor, and with an immunohistochemical inflammation score.Results: Orth. A histology varied between normal and markedly inflamed. Predominant abnormalities were mild lining hyperplasia, scattered inflammatory cells and small perivascular infiltrates. The synovitis score classified Orth. A as "mild synovitis''. Inflammatory cells occurred frequently: CD68+ cells in 100% of Orth. A specimens; CD3+, 91%; CD38+, 70%; and CD20+, 39%. Orth. A had 36% greater lining thickness (p=0.04), 40% higher vascular density (p=0.009) and 51.3-fold higher CD38+ cell density (p=0.02) than normal controls; and 60% fewer subintimal Ki-67+ cells (p=0.003), 42% fewer CD68+ lining cells (p
