Abstract
We had the opportunity to observe the clinical course of ochronotic arthropathy in the group of 26 patients suffering from this disease. As we followed some of the patients for the period of up to 10 years, this observation period enabled us to catch individual stages of disease development from initial symptoms to final, often disabling stages. We also had the opportunity to catch the dynamics of the whole comprehensive pathological process and to compare the development of articular pathological changes of ochronotic arthropathy with other similar pathological conditions, especially generalised osteoarthrosis.
