For a long time, the upper and lower articular surfaces fuse with each other, resulting in joint ankylosis. Due to the swelling and pain of the joint and limited movement, the muscles near the joint can be stiff and atrophy. Ankylosis and deformity of joints, rigidity and atrophy of muscles can cause different degrees of disability, and eventually the range of motion of joints is obviously limited, or even the joints can not move, and finally the patients completely lose the ability to work.
