Joint diseases affect the structures of the joints and can lead to pain, limited mobility, and loss of function. Common conditions include degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis, particularly in the knee and hip joints, where cartilage wears down and joint movement becomes impaired. Bursitis occurs when the bursae, which cushion the joints, become inflamed, leading to pain and swelling. Other inflammatory conditions can also cause joint discomfort.
An MRI provides detailed images of joint structures, including cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and bones, allowing even early changes to be detected and treated effectively.
