Osteoarthritis of the base of the thumb (rhizarthrosis) is a condition in which the cartilage at the base of the thumb has thinned or even disappeared completely. Sometimes prolonged repetitive movements and certain work conditions can accelerate osteoarthritis.

The elbow is the joint that connects the upper and lower arm. It is a special joint because it connects one bone in the upper arm with two bones in the forearm.

Ankle osteoarthritis is the wear and tear of the cartilage in the ankle. It can result from trauma, overuse or misalignment of the foot or ankle. Sometimes it occurs spontaneously as a result of the natural aging process.

An ankle entrapment (impingement) can occur due to thickening caused by scar tissue, extra bone ingrowth (osteophytes) or prolonged (sports) overload. This causes pain and an inflammatory reaction.

With ankle instability, you have the feeling of sinking through your foot. This feeling can occur during sports activities but can also occur in everyday life. Abnormalities in the ankle or a (frequent) injury that has not healed properly can damage cartilage and cause instability.

Complaints of the ankle joint are common and are related to various aspects: position, strain, occupation, sport or age. Injuries of the ankle usually occur after a sprain of the ankle. This often damages the ankle ligaments and/or cartilage.
