“…The association between FFB and inflammatory disease has been previously documented in both histologic and cross‐sectional imaging studies (30–32). The identification of a synovial membrane within intermetatarsal FFB, with inwardly projecting villi (33), or a fibrocollagenous membrane that exhibits some superficial synoviocytic cellular elements (34, 35), appears to provide support for the notion that FFB are directly associated with disease activity. Additionally, a number of cross‐sectional imaging studies reinforce this theory, suggesting that the particular susceptibility of FFB, above other synovial structures, makes them a clinically useful and representative feature of minimal disease activity (32, 36, 37).…”
