Put the steps into the correct order to trace knee

Last updated: 7/9/2022

Put the steps into the correct order to trace knee degeneration. - As the splits in the fiber layers deepen, abrasion of the cartilage continues, eventually exposing the underlying bone. - Splits develop in collagen fiber layers and the color of the cartilage changes from glistening white to mottled gray or yellow. - Areas of the splits become softer than normal. - Bone grows at the margins of the articular surface, forming osteophytes, which may grow into the joint space. - As the cartilage continues to erode, it is replaced by bone infiltration, and the bone beneath the cartilage becomes more dense and sclerotic. - Hemorrhage and bone necrosis occur; repair takes the form of scar tissue.
