title: [Experimental models of osteo-arthrosis].
abstract: A number of experimental models that variably simulate human osteo-arthritis with respect to pathology, biochemistry, and pathogenesis are already available. They are reasonably consistent in reproducibility, and the exact time of induction of joint derangement leading to degenerative change can be accurately identified. The availability of such models has led to an increased understanding of pathology, biochemical changes, pathogenesis and therapeutic assessment of osteoarthritis.
