Other articular cartilage disorders - what does this mean
Other articular cartilage disorders are caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, trauma, infection, and metabolic and autoimmune diseases. these disorders can lead to the destruction of the articular cartilage, resulting in pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of range of motion in the affected joint.
What happens during the disease - other articular cartilage disorders
Other articular cartilage disorders refer to a range of conditions where the cartilage in the joints becomes damaged or degenerates. the exact cause of these disorders is unknown but is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as age, injury, and overuse. in some cases, the body's own immune system may attack the cartilage, leading to inflammation and further damage. in other cases, the cartilage may break down due to wear and tear, or the joint may become misaligned, leading to uneven loading and further damage.
