Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The work carried out at the Brest University Hospital on serum immunological changes in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) (based on clinical protocols TENOR, SEMAPHORE, THEN) made it possible to describe the changes in the distribution of lymphocyte subpopulations and cytokine levels during PPR, before and then under treatment compared to controls.

However, in systemic autoimmune or inflammatory pathologies, serum immunological mechanisms are rarely a reflection of intra-tissue mechanisms.

In the specific case of PMR, there are few data concerning muscular or joint immunological modifications. The investigators now wish to study the immunological modifications occurring at the tissue sites of interest, in particular in the shoulder bursae

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control

Witnesses recruited into the orthopedic surgery department will be offered a synovial membrane biopsy during a shoulder surgery in the context of mechanical pathology.

Group Type OTHER

Synovial membrane biopsy with puncture of synovial fluid

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The biopsy of the shoulder bursae will be carried out thanks to a device Tru-cut (Tru-Cut Biopsy Needle), minimally invasive, introduced, as during an infiltration, within the bursa serosa.

Blood sample

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A blood sample taken during routine care and unused will also be collected from patients and controls for immunoassays.

PMR

Patients with PMR will be offered biopsy of the synovial membrane with puncture of synovial fluid during cortisone infiltration for analgesic purposes. In case of associated peripheric arthritis, the patient will also be offered a joint fluid sample during a cortisonic infiltration for analgesic purposes, performed as part of routine care

The study-specific examination that is not part of current practice is the synovial biopsy performed during the cortisonic infiltration procedure.
