M07.11: Arthritis mutilans Shoulder region
You have an inflamed joint in your shoulder or collarbone.
There are 3 bones and 2 joints in the shoulder area. The bones are the collarbone, the shoulder blade, and the humerus. The shoulder joint connects the humerus to the shoulder blade. A second joint connects the shoulder blade to the collarbone. The collarbone is also connected to the sternum by another joint.
You have a long-term illness. This illness is also affecting your immune system. This causes the immune system to attack the tissues in the joints, resulting in the joints becoming inflamed.
An inflammation in the joints can cause various symptoms. Typical is a swollen, painful joint. The skin above the joint may also be red. It may also no longer be possible to move the joint as usual. The inflammation has very badly damaged the joints. As a result, you may no longer be able to move the joint properly, or the bones in your joint may no longer be properly aligned.
