title: ["Rheumatism"--pathophysiologic principles].
abstract: Joint diseases can be divided into inflammatory and non-inflammatory diseases as well as conditions with tumorous tissue proliferations. Inflammatory diseases primarily affect the synovial membrane; secondary cartilage and bone may be involved. Non-inflammatory diseases such as osteoarthrosis initially affect the cartilage; however, in the course of the disease an involvement of the synovial membrane and bone occurs. Juxta-articular ischaemic necrosis is complicated by a loss of cartilage and even a synovial reaction. Tumorous proliferations of the synovial membrane like pigmented villonodular synovitis and chondromatosis may also be complicated by cartilage and bone disturbances. It is the aim of this review to give an insight into the articular reactions that occur in these different disease processes.
