Preferred Term:

osteoartritis

Definition:
Enfermedad articular progresiva y degenerativa. Es la forma más común de artritis, especialmente en los ancianos. Se cree que la enfermedad es resultado, no del proceso de envejecimiento, sino de los cambios bioquímicos y del estrés biomecánico que afecta al cartílago articular. En la literatura foránea se conoce a menudo como osteoartritis deformante.
