title: Terminology of osteoarthritis cartilage and bone histopathology - a proposal for a consensus.
abstract: Unifying terminology used to describe morphologic features is a very important endeavour to assure comparability of work and papers on osteoarthritis animal models. In this editorial an attempt is presented to define and unify the terminology of the macroscopic and histological description of joint changes in OA for both human OA and the OA animal models.
