Secondary multiple arthrosis - what does this mean

Secondary multiple arthrosis is a condition caused by an underlying disease or trauma that leads to the degeneration of multiple joints in the body. it is characterized by pain and swelling, as well as stiffness and limited range of motion. over time, the degeneration of the joints can lead to deformity and disability.

What happens during the disease - secondary multiple arthrosis

Secondary multiple arthrosis is a degenerative condition that is caused by damage to the joints from other conditions such as trauma, infection, or inflammatory diseases. this damage leads to an interruption of the normal joint mechanics, leading to the accumulation of metabolic waste products and the subsequent destruction of the joint cartilage, resulting in pain, stiffness, and loss of joint function.
