title: [Etiological and pathogenetic aspects of joint diseases in Abu Ali Ibn Sina's papers and their modern significance].
abstract: It is established that the basis of theoretical background on etiological and pathogenetic aspects of joint diseases have been made in connection with an ancient doctrine of elements, basic qualities, joint fluid and mizadj. Pathological process in a joint is associated with quantitative-qualitative changes of structure of joint fluid and its penetration into the joint with subsequent change of mizadj. The doctrine about mizadj is the main idea of Avicenna on health and illness and also the basis of signs of all system of human being, which are significant during diagnostics. The study of reasons and mechanisms of illnesses of the locomotor system against Avicenna's positions will throw light, for sure, on many unresolved problems of modern arthroloogy.
