What Is Advanced Arthritis?

Advanced rheumatoid arthritis series due to thickening of the synovium. Vascular condyles form and erode cartilage and subchondral bone, eventually leading to deformities and rigidity of the joints. Clinically, patients not only have joint pain and swelling, but more importantly have severe irreversible joint deformity, rigidity, or complete loss of function. X-ray of the joint showed severe damage to the joint structure or osseous fusion. Patients at this stage often cannot take care of themselves, have difficulty walking or cannot stay in bed all day.
