Articular sclerosis is hardening, scarring or plaque buildup of joints. This condition typically occurs in bony joint areas like the knees, hips, and spine.
Mild increased sclerosis of the articular surfaces at the sacroiliac (SI) joints typically indicates a response to stress or inflammation in that area, often associated with conditions like osteoarthritis or sacroiliitis. Sclerosis refers to the hardening or thickening of bone, which can occur due to increased weight-bearing or chronic inflammation. While it may not signify a severe problem, it can be a sign of underlying joint issues that may warrant further evaluation or management. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate treatment options.

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.
