Heberden nodes (with arthropathy) - what does this mean
Heberden nodes, also known as heberden's nodes, are bony swellings that form on the joints of the fingers due to osteoarthritis. the condition typically occurs in older adults and is caused by the wear and tear of the joints over time, which leads to the buildup of calcium deposits, inflammation, and pain.
What happens during the disease - heberden nodes (with arthropathy)
Heberden nodes are bony swellings that occur at the distal interphalangeal joints of the fingers. they are caused by chronic, degenerative changes in the cartilage of the joints, leading to increased pressure on the underlying bone and the formation of osteophytes. this process, known as arthropathy, is often associated with other forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
