Abstract

Rheumatic musculoskeletal disorders encompass a wide range of disorders of bone, joints and surrounding connective tissue structures. Articular cartilage, synovium, joint capsule and bone are key structures in maintaining the integrity of diarthrodial joints. An insult to any one of the structures shown in Fig. 79.1 is often followed by secondary involvement of surrounding structures.
