This means that there are noticeable degenerative changes (osteoarthritis) at the distal interphalangeal (DIP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints. There are no recent fractures, dislocations, or other harmful conditions. Additionally, there are small bone spurs on the front and back of the heel, and significant swelling in the soft tissue on the top of the foot.
