Anatomy: (cont.)

  • Bony ridges begin developing after age 30 which continue to increase with age

    • unclear if this is to increase stability of the joint vs. degenerative changes
    • rare to develop into pure bony ossification – rather partial intraarticular ankylosis and paraarticular synostosis is seen more commonly in elderly
