“Ordinary” TMT osteoarthritis, or anything specific?

Hi there everyone,

this is a 77 year old lady with chronic foot pain. The referring physician says she has CPPD. Doesn’t know about trauma.
MRI shows marked osteoarthritis at the TMT joints, especially II-IV, with marrow edema and large cysts. Also possible insufficiency / stress reaction at the proximal 2nd and 3rd metatarsals.
Alas, once again no xrays.
To me it looks like "ordinary" OA (some would call it "arthrosis") however prominent, possibly post-traumatic.
Or do you think it’s something more specific? Inflammatory?..

Thanks, and have a good start this week!

Andrei
