Excerpt from Chronic Joint Disease: Some Preliminary Papers WE use the indefinite term, chronic joint disease, after some deliberation, believing that our meaning will thus be more generally understood than by the use of a term more clearly indicating the pathology of the condition under consideration. It appears to us that all of the pathological problems of joints with chronic disease have not been solved; that, although the tubercle bacillus has been found in all, or nearly all, of the joints obtained either by excision or after death, pathological investigation has not made clear the relationship which seems to exist between joint disease unquestionably due to hereditary syphilis, tubercular joint disease in the children of syphilitic parents, and joint disease in the children of tubercular parents, all of which, clinically, often appear to be the same; nor has it marked the time when a joint, unsound from a sprain or lesser injury, ceases to be simply a traumatic joint and becomes truly a tubercular one. Until these and kindred problems have been solved and the terms of modern pathology have become familiar words, terminology, based upon the pathological condition, leads to more or less confusion of thought, and may even be open to the charge of inconsistency, or worse. The term, chronic joint disease, calls to mind a familiar picture; a joint diseased by a slow lingering process, arising from any one of several causes, but presenting the same definite symptoms, running a definite course when left untreated, and, whatever may have been its origin, requiring the same mechanical or operative treatment for its relief.
