https://osteomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/rheumatoid-athritis-front.webp1199675Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease in which the immune system decides to attack the human cell instead of the foreign one. In the joint, it is the surface of the inner synovial membrane that is targeted. This attack activates the inflammatory system causing swelling of the fusiform soft tissues and juxta-articular osteoporosis. This fluid has the ability to break down cartilage and bone. This cartilage and bone loss will eventually cause misalignment and uniform narrowing of the joint space. Erosions begin near the joint margins and usually show no repair. Once the surfaces are devoid of cartilage, they may fuse together (articular ankylosis).
