| Arthropathy | ||||||||
|
An arthropathy is a disease of a joint. [1]
Scope[]
Arthritis is a form of arthropathy that involves inflammation of one or more joints,[2] while the term arthropathy may be used regardless of whether there is inflammation or not.
Spondylarthropathy is any form of arthropathy of the vertebral column.[3]
Arthropathy may also include joint conditions caused by physical trauma to joints, but is traditionally used to describe the following conditions:
- Reactive arthropathy (M02-M03) is caused by an infection, but not a direct infection of the synovial space. (See also Reactive arthritis)
- Enteropathic arthropathy (M07) is caused by colitis and related conditions.
- Crystal arthropathy (also known as crystal arthritis) (M10-M11) involves the deposition of crystals in the joint.
- In gout, the crystal is uric acid.
- In pseudogout/chondrocalcinosis/calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, the crystal is calcium pyrophosphate.
- Diabetic arthropathy (M14.2, E10-E14) is caused by diabetes.
- Neuropathic arthropathy (M14.6) is associated with a loss of sensation.
