M20-M25: Other joint disorders
M25: Other joint disorders, not elsewhere classified
The group of conditions classified as "Other joint disorders, not elsewhere classified" refer to a variety of disorders impacting the joints, the points in the body where bones meet each other. These conditions have a wide range of causes, including injury, inflammation, aging, or autoimmune disorders. Symptoms might include pain, swelling, stiffness, or reduced mobility in the affected joint. These disorders can develop suddenly or over time and can affect any joint in the body, although some types are more common in certain joints than others. Progression of these conditions can result in increasing discomfort and loss of functionality of the joint, and might also have an impact on surrounding tissues such as muscles, ligaments, or bones. It's important to note that these disorders encompass a wide spectrum, with some causing only minor discomfort whereas others might lead to significant pain and disability.
