BONE TURNOVER AND ARTICULAR CARTILAGE DIFFERENCES IN PATIENTS WITH KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS
Subchondral bone cysts (SBCs) may contribute to knee osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. SBCs within knee OA are characterized by focally increased bone turnover, altered bone structure and more severe articular cartilage damage. The increased bone turnover possibly contributes to altered bone structure localized in SBC areas, and thus aggravates articular cartilage degeneration.
