- Osteoarthritis
- Pathophysiology
- Osteoarthritis is caused by the
biochemical breakdown of articular
cartilage in the synovial joints and
the entire joint organ, including the
subchondral bone and synovian.

- Cause
- Lose of balance between cartilage
breakdown and production, degeneration
exceeds regeneration
- Deterioration of the articular cartilage
- Increase the development
- Obesity, misalignment of bones and
joints, joint trauma and injury,
exercise

- Pathophysiology
- Gout
- Pathophysiology
- An inflammatory reaction to monosodium urate crystals.
- Increased production of uric acid,
decreased excretion, increased
purine intake - increase urate
levels
- Needle-shaped monosodium urate
crystals which are deposited in the
articular cartilage or in the tend
sheaths, ligaments and around
distal joints and tissues.
