At first it is abundantand infiltrates the parts about the joint, intowhich it escapes through the ruptured capsule and accounts in somecases for the great swelling in the limb. It may contain floating bodiesin large number, bony particles, and detritus. The ends of the bones and joint-surfaces may be either (1) eroded,as is most usual, and greatly reduced in all their dimensions, even tothe complete destruction of several inches of their length, or (2) maypresent the hypertrophic exaggeration of an arthritis deformans. Thesetwo types may be combined in the same joint. The rule is that thehypertrophic form occurs in the knee, the atrophic variety at the hipand shoulder. The disintegration of the joint may be increased by. Fig. 194.—Tabetic arthrop-athy of right knee, early stagewith edema of the entire ex-tremity (Souques and J. B,Charcot). DISEASES OF THE WHITE MATTER OF THE CORD. 439 intracapsular fractures or by fragmentation of the eroded shafts andseparated epiphyses. Juergens has found that in most tabetics nearly all the joints showcapsular enlargement, elongation of ligaments, vascular dilatation, andsome synovial roughening.
