• Increased Bone Density

  Bone spurs. Bone spurs are known as “osteophytes” and they often occur as the body’s natural response to arthritis. Increased bone density at the joint line. [footeducation.com]

For patients who fail to respond to nonsurgical modalities, the two primary treatment options are arthroplasty and arthrodesis. Each treatment option has strong proponents who argue the superiority of their treatment algorithm. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although IF have a good prognosis with conservative treatment, increased awareness is of importance for prompt diagnosis and proper management. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Outcomes and prognosis for individuals with osteoarthritis will depend on the severity of the joint degeneration, motion loss, weakness and age of the individual. [twinboro.com]
