| Abstract | Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability in the adult population. As aprogressive degenerative joint disorder, OA is characterized by cartilage damage,changes in the subchondral bone, osteophyte formation, muscle weakness, andinflammation of the synovium tissue and tendon. Although OA has long been viewed as aprimary disorder of articular cartilage, subchondral bone is attracting increasingattention. It is commonly reported to play a vital role in the pathogenesis of OA.Subchondral bone sclerosis, together with progressive cartilage degradation, iswidely considered as a hallmark of OA. Despite the increase in bone volume fraction,subchondral bone is hypomineralized, due to abnormal bone remodeling. Somehistopathological changes in the subchondral bone have also been detected, includingmicrodamage, bone marrow edema-like lesions and bone cysts. This review summarizesbasic features of the osteochondral junction, which comprises subchondral bone andarticular cartilage. Importantly, we discuss risk factors influencing subchondralbone integrity. We also focus on the microarchitectural and histopathological changesof subchondral bone in OA, and provide an overview of their potential contribution tothe progression of OA. A hypothetical model for the pathogenesis of OA isproposed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
