Osteoarthritis is a form of non-inflammatory arthritis, which is caused by the breakdown of cartilage, which covers and protects bones. Often due to "wear and tear", pain and swelling can occur when the cartilage breaks down. Eventually, the cartilage may wear away entirely and bones will rub together. 7, record 3, English, - osteoarthritis
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
degenerative joint disease (DJD); degenerative arthritis: [Osteoarthritis] has always been classified as a noninflammatory arthritis; yet, there is increasing evidence for inflammation occurring with cytokine and metalloproteinase release into the joint. Therefore, the terms "degenerative joint disease (DJD)" [and "degenerative arthritis" may] no longer [be] appropriate when referring to [osteoarthritis]. 8, record 3, English, - osteoarthritis

Bien que les spécialistes du domaine utilisent «ostéoarthrite» et «arthrose» de façon interchangeable, ces deux termes ne sont pas de vrais synonymes. En fait, comme le dit la définition, l'arthrose est non inflammatoire tandis que l'ostéoarthrite sous-entend qu'il y a de l'inflammation (à cause de la terminaison «-ite» du grec «-itis»). L'arthrose fait partie de la famille des maladies rhumatismales et se distingue par le fait qu'elle est au départ reliée à la dégénérescence des tissus de l'articulation, avec réaction inflammatoire éventuelle, alors que d'autres formes de maladies rhumatismales, telle l'arthrite rhumatoïde, sont d'emblée des maladies inflammatoires. En somme, c'est à cause de l'inflammation qui accompagne souvent l'arthrose que les spécialistes du domaine considèrent que «ostéoarthrite» et «arthrose» sont interchangeables. En anglais, «osteoarthritis» est bel et bien une arthrite non inflammatoire malgré sa terminaison trompeuse. 5, record 3, French, - arthrose
