Jaccoud arthropathy (JA), is a chronic non-erosive reversible joint disorder that may occur after repeated bouts of arthritis. [1] [2] It is caused by inflammation of the joint capsule and subsequent fibrotic retraction, causing ulnar deviation of the fingers, through metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) subluxation, [1] [3] primarily of the ring and little-finger. [3]
Arthritis is a form of arthropathy that involves inflammation of one or more joints, [3] [4] while the term arthropathy may be used regardless of whether there is inflammation or not. Joint diseases can be classified as follows: [citation needed] Arthritis; Infectious arthritis; Septic arthritis (infectious) Tuberculosis arthritis; Reactive ...
This category reflects the organization of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision.

There is a growing consensus that psychosocial factors are another cause of some MSDs. [11] Some theories for this causal relationship found by many researchers include increased muscle tension, increased blood and fluid pressure, reduction of growth functions, pain sensitivity reduction, pupil dilation, body remaining at heightened state of sensitivity.
