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.

How long bones grow?

A bone collar is formed around the hyaline cartilage model. The hyaline cartilage is then caviated within the cartilage model. Next, the periosteal bud is invaded with internal cavities and spongy bone is formed. This is followed by the formation of the medllary cavity as ossification continues. The epihyses are ossificated and when this process is completed, the hyaline cartilage remains only in the epiphyseal plates and articular cartilages.
