Can Inflammatory Arthritis cause Osteoarthritis to develop in a specific joint of the body?

Osteoarthritis is the result of damage done to cartilage to a point where the bones in joints are rubbing on each other. Cartilage has no nerves in it and so long as this smooth layer exists between the bones there is no pain. However as soon as this is gone the bone feels it and you experience pain. When the cartilage and surrounding tissue is eroded to a point where the bone touches in joints the result is the same as osteoarthritis when seen on Xray. So it is imperative that inflammation be kept under control in the case of any inflammatory disease.
