Characteristics of Joint Loading as it Applies to Osteoarthrosis

We subscribe to the view that osteoarthrosis is a functional organ failure of the joint caused by mechanical factors (Freeman 1972). Inflammation can play an important role in the osteoarthrotic process, but in this chapter attention will be directed only to those circumstances in which inflammation is not primary.
