Difference between Arthroplasty and Rheumatoid arthritis

Arthroplasty vs. Rheumatoid arthritis

Arthroplasty (literally "forming of joint") is an orthopedic surgical procedure where the articular surface of a musculoskeletal joint is replaced, remodeled, or realigned by osteotomy or some other procedure. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints.

Similarities between Arthroplasty and Rheumatoid arthritis

Arthroplasty and Rheumatoid arthritis have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Inflammation, Joint, Joint replacement, Metatarsophalangeal joints, Necrosis, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatology, Tendon.

Inflammation

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators.
