They are more likely to be associated with osteoarthritis.
Osteophyte formation on the articular margin of the patella means that there is a bone growth in the joint of the knee. A medical specialist will be able to diagnose the cause for this type of bone growth.
This is generally described as arthritis the main culprit would be Osteoarthritis which is a non inflammatory form of arthritis often the result of joint trauma and just plain wear and tear. there is also Rheumatoid arthritis which is a autoimmune disease that destroys connective tissue in the joints and other places and gouty arthritis which is the result of the formation of uric acid crystals in the blood which invade joints and other organs of the body. there are over a hundred different forms of arthritis and to date there is no cure other then remission for any of them. there seem to be genetic links with the majority of them
penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen)Penicillamine is an antirheumatic drug used to treat patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. it is considered a disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD). This drug reduces the formation of scas tissue and malformations that are common in RA. The way it does this is however not understood.
the result could be the formation of uric acid crystals in the blood leading to their settlement in joints, a painful condition, known as gouty arthritis.
No Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease and the amount of uric acid in the blood does not affect this disease. High levels of uric acid in the blood can however lead to what is known as Gouty arthritis, which is the result of uric acid turning int fine sharp crystals that settle in joints and other parts of the body.
sounds more like osteo arthritis.
Age-related erosion of articular cartilages and formation of painful bony spurs are characteristic of ostoearthrosis, sometimes called arthrosis. It is colloquially known as arthritis, which is misleading, because arthritis is a class of diseases with articular inflammation, the archetype of which is rheumatoid arthritis. The four radiological signs of arthrosis are asymmetrical joint space loss, bony spurs, subchondral sclerosis and geodes (holes in the underlying bone). Chondrocalcinosis and cartilagenous loss, and articular malalignment are other signs. Although arthrosis is usually age related, a number of other causes are recognized, such as trauma and occupational arthrosis.
list all of the characteristics of a geologic formation?
No they are not. An exostosis is the formation of new bone on the surface of a bone. while arthritis relates to joint problems.
Osteoarthrosis, sometimes also called osteoarthritis.
flat-footedness, a tight Achilles tendon, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteophyte formations are where there is bony deposits within the spinal bone.ÊOsteophyte formation can arise from a number of reasons, such as osteoarthritis, movement of the vertebrae, rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, and aging.
Coinage is a word formation process where a new word is created either by inventing a completely new term or by adopting and adapting an existing word for a new use or meaning. It typically involves a deliberate creation of a word where no suitable existing term exists.
All forms of arthritis in the joints in particular can be painful, the amount of pain involved depends on the damage that the disease is causing to the the body. However it seems that the the most painful form of arthritis is the disease referred to as gouty arthritis which is the result of the formation of uric acid crystals usually in the peripheral joints of the body.
Osteophyte formation on the articular margin of the patella means that there is a bone growth in the joint of the knee. A medical specialist will be able to diagnose the cause for this type of bone growth.
Sounds like Rheumatoid Arthritis.
