ABSTRACT

The most prevalent form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA), is now known to affect all joint tissues, including active anabolic and catabolic processes. Knee OA, in particular, is thought to be primarily a mechanical illness. Bone changes are expected to have a role in the development of OA because bone adjusts to stresses by remodelling to fulfil its mechanical demands. Changes in subchondral bone turnover, mineralization, and volume result in changed apparent and material bone density, which may have an unfavourable effect on the biomechanical environment of the joint. One of the symptoms of osteoarthritis is an osteophyte, which is a fibrocartilage-capped bony outgrowth. On a female cadaver, we offer a case study of osteoarthritis with osteophytic alterations. During a regular dissection at Vadodara's Parul Institute of Ayurveda (Gujrat). On the left femur, we found severe osteophytic alterations (Figure 1 & 2), and on the right knee joint, we noticed a prosthesis of Total Knee Arthroplasty/ Knee Replacement Surgery. It was discovered in a 68-year-old female corpse with an over-weighted body build. Keywords: Osteoarthritis, osteophytic, cadaver, knee joint
