How long does it take for arthritis to show up on xrays?

It all depends on how serious the problem turns out to be. as the cartilage wears the bones of the joints come closer together or in time spurs may form which are a build up of bone where bone is wearing onto bone. that which shows up on xrays is the result of the damage done by arthritis. For example I have Rheumatoid arthritis and it took about 3 years from the time that I did not have a problem with my right elbow to the time I had to have it totally replaced. However I Have many other parts that still seem to be working fine.

Breaking a bone can increase your risk of developing arthritis in the affected area due to changes in joint mechanics and the potential for damage to cartilage during the injury. However, not everyone who breaks a bone will develop arthritis. It is best to follow up with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.


What is a peripherally sclerotic centrally hypo dense bone cyst at the left femoral neck region?

This essentially is a cyst inside of the neck of the hip bone. The peripheral sclerotic area is the outside of this "cyst" and has a lot of calcium in it... thus it shows up as a very white area on xray, since it is more dense (because of the calcium). Hypo-dense just means there isn't much calcium in the middle of this bone "cyst" so it shows up on the xray as a dark area (hypo= less).
