A member asked:
Pain in foot from injury 6 mos ago. mri report says i have a chronic avulsion fracture with associated cystic change. does this mean i have arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not : Necessarily. Cystic change with bone means there is some porous spots of the bone,,,,sometimes this is repairable. Arthritic changes are often not repairable without surgery. Avulsion fractures often do not occur at the joint surface (though possible) arthritis would occur if the joint cartiledge was damaged.
