| Core Tip |
This study refines a semi-quantitative ultrasound grading system for first metatarsophalangeal joint synovial hypertrophy by introducing a novel subtype that specifically classifies cases of dorsal recess overlying the metatarsal bone, demonstrating high reliability (intra-observer ICC = 0.79; inter-observer ICC = 0.73). We identified a significant inverse, non-linear correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and synovial hypertrophy severity, with a threshold effect at 23.8 ng/mL. These findings suggest that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to synovial inflammation in T2DM patients and that targeted screening and supplementation could help mitigate joint complications. |
