fissures
a disorder that occurs in the synovial joints and results in progressive degeneration of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone
osteoarthritis
what kind of joints are affected by osteoarthritis
synovial
age, genetics, nutrition, hormones, bone density, and inflammation are what kind of factors to osteoarthritis
systemic
excessive/reduced joint use, muscle weakness, joint deformity, pre-existing articular disease, and immobilization are what kind of factors to osteoarthritis
local
gender-age connection, obesity, altered biomechanics, and acute trauma are what kind of factors to osteoarthritis
extrinsic
when are men more likely affected by osteoarthritis
younger age
when are women more likely affected by osteoarthritis
middle age and older
abnormal stress on cartilage leads to more susceptibility to what kind of disruption
mechanical disruption
as cartilage wears, what happens to the underlying bone
becomes fissured and thickened
