Meaning of "eburnation" in English

Eburnation refers to a change in bone or cartilage, typically occurring in joints affected by degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis. It is characterized by a smooth, ivory-like appearance due to the polishing of bone surfaces. Eburnation is a result of the loss of cartilage and the friction between bones, leading to the hardening and increased density of the bone. This condition is often associated with pain and reduced mobility within the affected joint, impacting the quality of life for individuals with advanced degenerative joint disease.

Meaning of "eburnation" in French

In French, "eburnation" conveys a similar concept as in English. It describes the pathological change occurring in bones or cartilage, usually due to degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. The process results in the joint surfaces becoming polished and hardened, resembling ivory. This happens when cartilage wears away, causing bones to rub against each other, leading to a dense and shiny appearance. This condition can cause joint pain and stiffness, significantly affecting movement and daily activities for those suffering from such degenerative conditions.
