Background:

Rodent models are crucial for studying joint destruction in arthritis.
Histological analysis provides detailed insights into disease mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe methods for preparing and analyzing histological sections from inflamed rodent paws.
To compare decalcified paraffin-embedded and undecalcified plastic-embedded sectioning techniques.

Main Methods:

Detailed protocols for creating decalcified paraffin-embedded sections.
Detailed protocols for creating undecalcified plastic-embedded sections.
Histomorphometry for quantitative analysis of arthritic paw sections.

Main Results:
