What is arthrosis? I saw this diagnosis on my chart at the hand clinic. I've

never heard the term before.

Arthritis is on there too. I know I have that going on, but don't have pain with

it. At least until the cartilage is completely worn away.

Anyone know what it means?

Thanks Debbi!

Wonder if the WHE following right after " arthrosis " stands for Wrist Hand

Extremity? I've never seen that either. Any idea?
