Шаблон:Infobox medical condition (new) An arthropathy is a disease of a joint.[1]
Types
Arthritis is a form of arthropathy that involves inflammation of one or more joints,[2][3] while the term arthropathy may be used regardless of whether there is inflammation or not.
Joint diseases can be classified as follows:Шаблон:Cn
- Infectious arthritis
- Septic arthritis (infectious)
- Tuberculosis arthritis
- Reactive arthritis (indirectly)
- Noninfectious arthritis
- Hemarthrosis (joint bleeding)
- Synovitis is the medical term for inflammation of the synovial membrane.
- Joint dislocation
With arthropathy in the name
- 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.
Spondylarthropathy is any form of arthropathy of the vertebral column.[4]

- Decreased range of motion
- Stiffness
- Effusion
- Pneumarthrosis, air in a joint (which is also a common normal finding).
- Bone erosion
- Systemic signs of arthritis such as fatigue
