An '''arthropathy''' is a [[disease]] of a [[joint]]. Although the terms "arthropathy" and [[arthritis]] have very similar meanings, the former is traditionally used to describe the following conditions:
* ''Reactive arthropathy'' (M02-M03) is caused by an [[infection]], but not a direct infection of the [[synovial space]]. (See also [[Reactive arthritis]])
* ''Enteropathic arthropathy'' (M07) is caused by [[colitis]] and related conditions.
* ''Crystal arthropathy'' (also known as ''crystal arthritis'') (M10-M11) involves the deposition of crystals in the joint.
** In [[gout]], the crystal is [[uric acid]].
** In [[pseudogout]]/[[chondrocalcinosis]]/[[calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease]], the crystal is [[calcium pyrophosphate]].
* ''Diabetic arthropathy'' (M14.2, E10-E14) is caused by [[diabetes]].
* ''Neuropathic arthropathy'' (M14.6) is associated with a loss of [[sensation]].
