Osteoartritis contra artritis reumatoide
La osteoartritis es un deterioro del cartílago y un sobrecrecimiento del hueso que generalmente se debe a un "desgaste por uso". La artritis reumatoide es la inflamación del tejido conectivo de una articulación, tal como las membranas sinoviales, lo cual lleva a la destrucción del cartílago articular.
