Multiple pathways to osteoarthritis and articular fractures: is subchondral bone the culprit?

Antonio M Cruz et al. Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract. 2008 Apr.

Abstract

Osteoarthritis and articular fractures are commonly responsible for early retirement from athletic performance. The subchondral bone (SCB) in those conditions is being recognized as an integral component in their pathophysiology. Early recognition of these potentially career-ending diseases may require understanding of the progression of changes occurring in SCB with time and exercise.
