Carpal ankylosis after past juvenile arthritis.
The ankylosis (from the Greek : αγκυλος - bent, bent) is the medical term for a full joint stiffness . This can be caused by ossification of the joint space or changes (scarring) in the joint capsule . Often it is an inflammatory destruction, e.g. B. in rheumatoid arthritis . This is to be distinguished from tooth ankylosis, the (dentoalveolar) ankylosis of the teeth. Ankylosing describes the process of joint stiffening.
