The purpose of this study is to examine cultural and clinical context factors in African-American and white veterans with knee or hip osteoarthritis with a focus on how these factors may be potentially modifiable determinants of willingness to consider joint replacement.

This research protocol will recruit patients with arthritis and related conditions for the purpose of screening patients for treatment protocols, and evaluating the natural history of arthritis and related conditions. Patients will be evaluated clinically, radiographically and serologically, and standardized data will be uniformly collected on all patients. Additional imaging using sensitive MRI methods will be obtained in some patients. The collected blood and tissue will be utilized for laboratory studies to continue research on the pathogenic mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis and related autoimmune joint diseases. Data from the history and physical examination as well as several disability questionnaires in the adult and pediatric population will be used to phenotypically characterize these patients and assess outcome and functional status. Any medical care recommended or provided to the patients will be consistent with routine standards of practice and provided in consultation with the patient's referring physician.

Researchers at the Hospital for Special Surgery are trying to learn more about post-operative rheumatoid arthritis flare (RA). This study hopes to understand RA flare after total joint replacement surgery and what the result of flaring is for patients over the 6 weeks post operation. Through this study we aim to describe rates, characteristics, and risk factors of RA flare within 6 weeks of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA)
