Healing of erosions in rheumatoid arthritis

Ann Rheum Dis. 2000 Aug;59(8):647-9. doi: 10.1136/ard.59.8.647.

Abstract

Reports on healing of erosions in rheumatoid arthritis are rare. However, it is expected that repair of erosions should be seen more often during the period of extensive use of disease modifying antirheumatic drugs, especially in patients who experience sustained remission. Two such cases are described.
