"Please explain the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis to me, " says another nurse. "Is it just wear and tear so that the cartilage wears out?" Your best responses is A. "Yes; repeated use just wears out the cartilage until it becomes thin and denuded. That causes pain and will eventually cause joint inflammation". B. "Yes; with increasing age, the inflammation from repeated joint use accumulates and causes the cartilage to get thin and ragged until it disappears". C. No; cells in bone, cartilage, and synovial membrane all get activated and secrete inflammatory mediators that destroy cartilage and damage bone". D. "No; autoimmune cells infiltrated the joint and collect on the cartilage in a mass called 'pannus' that eventually thins and destroys the cartilage".
