Development in comprehending this disease has taken place with recognition that it is not simply a degenerative joint disease. Causative factors, like ligamentous abnormalities, malalignment, overuse, and biomechanical and metabolic factors have been identified as responsible for intervention. The diagnosis of this disease is based on recognition of overdevelopment of bone at joint margins.
