Traumatic arthropathy - what does this mean

Traumatic arthropathy is a condition that occurs when the joints become damaged due to trauma or injury. it is caused by the disruption of the joint's normal structure and function, resulting in pain, swelling, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. it can also cause cartilage degeneration, leading to joint instability and deformity.

What happens during the disease - traumatic arthropathy

Traumatic arthropathy is a degenerative joint disease caused by direct or indirect trauma to the joint. this trauma can cause inflammation, damage to the articular cartilage, and disruption of the normal joint mechanics. this can lead to the breakdown of the articular cartilage, leading to pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion in the affected joint. over time, the joint can become weakened and deformed, leading to further pain and disability.
