  2. Osteophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteophyte

    Osteophyte formation has classically been related to sequential and consequential changes in such processes. Often osteophytes form in osteoarthritic joints as a result of damage and wear from inflammation. Calcification and new bone formation can also occur in response to mechanical damage in joints. [5]

    Possible joint space narrowing (normal joint space is at least 2 mm at the superior acetabulum) [7] and osteophyte formation 2 Definite osteophyte formation with possible joint space narrowing 3 Multiple osteophytes, definite joint space narrowing, sclerosis and possible bony deformity 4 Large osteophytes, marked joint space narrowing, severe ...

  4. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_idiopathic...

    Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition characterized by abnormal calcification/bone formation (hyperostosis) of the soft tissues surrounding the joints of the spine, and also of the peripheral or appendicular skeleton. [1]

    A bone spur (osteophyte) in the knee is mainly caused by wear and tear of the joint, leading to pain and stiffness. Learn more about the causes and treatment.

    Osteophytes, < 2 mm in diameter, are present. (usually adjacent to the volar or dorsal facets of the trapezium) Stage 3: Osteophytes, > 2 mm in diameter, are present (usually adjacent to the volar and dorsal facets of the trapezium) Slight joint space narrowing; Stage 4 trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis, with major subluxation of the joint ...

  7. Eburnation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eburnation

    Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints characterized largely by central loss of cartilage and compensatory peripheral bone formation (osteophytes). Cameron and Macnab determined that "corrosive wear and abrasive wear play a part in producing eburnation. [3]

  8. Ankylosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankylosis

    Osteoarthritis usually confers osteophyte formation, which may eventually fuse across joints. Osteoarthritis is believed to be caused by mechanical stress on the joint and low-grade inflammatory processes. [3] Arthrodesis is the intentional creation of ankylosis in a joint.

  9. Heberden's node - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heberden's_node

    Heberden's nodes are hard or bony swellings that can develop in the distal interphalangeal joints (DIP) (the joints closest to the end of the fingers and toes). [1] They are a sign of osteoarthritis and are caused by formation of osteophytes (calcific spurs) of the articular (joint) cartilage in response to repeated trauma at the joint.
