'''Arthrosis''' is damage of the articular cartilage and secondary disintegration of the articular surface of bones.

==Stages of Arthrosis==

===Stage I===

* Mild clinical symptoms 
* X-ray may show discrete sclerotization of the cotyloid cavity 
* The articular space and the condyle remain intact

===Stage II===

* The mobility of the joint decreases due to pain
* The rigidity of the joint
* There appear small cysts in the cotyloid cavity
* X-ray may show fine osteophytes

===Stage III===

* The mobility of the joint significantly limited. 
* Secondary inflammation may occur. 
* X-ray may show cavitary or condylar cysts 
* Irregularly narrowing of articular cavity.

===Stage IV===

* The joint is almost stiff, and immobile. 
* Usually signs of secondary inflammation are present often takes place, 
* Signs of muscle decompensation are observable. 
* X-ray may show severe deformation of the joint as:
