It was then divided into two main types. This includes osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OA results from wearing away of the joints through various factors and with usage. Whereas, RA is an Autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system views its tissues as foreign and so attacks them. It is especially the one that makes up the joints.

Arthritis Caused by Injuries<\/h3>\n

This type of arthritis<\/a> is a result of an injury in our bodies through participation in sporting activities or frequent falls. During this process, the injured joint fails to get its natural healing, and the cartilage in the joint degenerates with time. This may lead to pain or stiffness and when the degeneration is severe the bones may rub on each other.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there is no known method to prevent post-traumatic arthritis from developing after an injury. But, a large number of severe traumas is often followed by osteoarthritis at a rate of 40%. This arthritis tends to appear approximately ten years after the initial injury.<\/p>\n
