[A]rthopathy and arthritis affected a significant number of the (fluorosis) patients, resulting in functional disability. . . . The physical signs of brick-tea type skeletal fluorosis were elbow, shoulder and knee articular dysfunction, which was the most common pathology. X-ray examination revealed that the interosseous membrane ossification, tendon attachment calcification and articular degeneration were the causes of these functional disorders.
