Q

What is the pathophysiology of RA

A
  1. Synotivitis
    - inflammation of the synovium
    - synovial membranes become inflamed and thickens
  2. Pannus formation
    - Abnormal layer of vascula fibrous tissue that forms
    - Inflammation extends into the cartilage and bones
  3. Fibrous Ankylosis
    - Joint begins to be invaded by fibrous connective tissue
    - Joint deformity and bone erosion occurs
  4. Bony Ankylosis
    - Bones become fused together decresaing the joints ROM and function
