Shares & Saves. Save. Subchondral sclerosis is a condition that affects the bones in the joints of people with osteoarthritis. It causes joint pain and immobility due increased bone mass and density in a thin layer of bone beneath the cartilage of joints.ubchondral sclerosis is easy to identify with an X-ray, which shows subchondral sclerosis as a particularly white region along the line of a joint. The presence of subchondral sclerosis can also be used to identify a progressive stage of osteoarthritis itself.
As the body tries to regrow this bone, it comes back thicker than before, resulting in subchondral sclerosis. It is most commonly detected in later stages of osteoarthritis. Subchondral sclerosis can cause bone spurs, and in some cases, can reduce motion in the affected joint. How is Subchondral Sclerosis Detected? When you have an x-ray as part of the diagnostic process for osteoarthritis, subchondral sclerosis is one of the things the radiologist looks for and observes. It shows up on x-ray as a denser area of bone just under the cartilage in your joint, appearing as abnormally white bone along the joint line.
