Inflammatory arthritis refers to a group of conditions characterised by a high number of white cells in the joints, causing inflammation, pain, redness, and swelling. Non-inflammatory arthritis typically refers to wear-and-tear joint problems, such as osteoarthritis. In this video, we will compare osteoarthritis (a classically non-inflammatory arthritis) to rheumatoid arthritis (a common inflammatory arthritis).
