Cover image: The figure on the cover is the logo for the Bone and Joint Decade (BJD). As the editorial by Harris (pages 1969-1970) indicates, the BJD is a worldwide movement to increase awareness of musculoskeletal disease, promote research, and improve patient outcome. Arthritis & Rheumatism is pleased to support this important initiative by featuring the logo on our cover.
