Arthrosis is a disease that results from both biological and mechanical events that interfere with the interrelated processes of degradation and synthesis of articular cartilage, both in chondrocytes, in the extracellular matrix and in the bone subcartilage layer. It is accompanied by the formation of bone outgrowths (osteophytes), an inflammatory process within the pulp membrane and periarticular tissues. The disease is clinically manifested by joint pain and limitation of their motor functions. It is commonly referred to as joint degeneration.
