M24: Other specific joint derangements

The group of conditions known as "Other specific joint derangements," often involves problems related to the joints in the body. These conditions are typically characterized by structural or functional disturbances in the joints of the body. This means that a joint might not function properly or may have a physical abnormality, causing discomfort, pain, and often a decreased range of motion in the affected joint. Examples might include unusual or excessive joint looseness (also known as joint laxity), instability, or problems with the articular disc of a joint. Causes vary widely and may include past physical trauma, genetic predisposition, general wear and tear associated with aging, or disease processes. The manifestation of symptoms, their severity, as well as the progression of these conditions can vary greatly from individual to individual. These conditions may affect any joint in the body, leading to disruption in normal movement and activities of daily living.
