What arthritis is an age-related erosion of articular cartilages and formation of painful bony spurs?

Age-related erosion of articular cartilages and formation of painful bony spurs are characteristic of ostoearthrosis, sometimes called arthrosis. It is colloquially known as arthritis, which is misleading, because arthritis is a class of diseases with articular inflammation, the archetype of which is rheumatoid arthritis. The four radiological signs of arthrosis are asymmetrical joint space loss, bony spurs, subchondral sclerosis and geodes (holes in the underlying bone). Chondrocalcinosis and cartilagenous loss, and articular malalignment are other signs. Although arthrosis is usually age related, a number of other causes are recognized, such as trauma and occupational arthrosis.
