Causes/Pathogenesis of Neuropathic Osteoarthropathy

<v ->We're gonna move on,

0:01

in the last minutes of this particular section,

0:05

we're gonna talk just about a few other things,

0:08

one of which is neuropathic osteoarthropathy.

0:13

Now the causes for this in fact, can be central lesions

0:17

or peripheral lesions.

0:18

So I thought I would provide you with a table

0:21

that shows you some of the lesions

0:24

that involve the central portion of the nervous system

0:27

and some that involve the peripheral nervous system

0:32

and it's a long list.

0:34

And often it becomes a bit difficult to determine

0:37

which of these lesions or causes,

0:41

is producing the neuropathic changes.

0:44

So we do that based upon what particular joint is involved

0:48

as I will explain.

0:51

Why we get neuropathic disease, has been argued

0:54

with two major theories.

0:56

The French theory thinks it's related to poor nutrition

1:00

of bones and joints.

1:02

The German theory says, yes, it's related to recurrent

1:06

and often minor injury that produces mechanical stresses.

1:11

I favor the German theory rather than the French theory.
