This patient's x-ray revealed "subchondral cysts, subchondral sclerosis, joint space narrowing":Physical Exam:RR: 16; HR: 70; Temp: 98.6; BP: 110/60Gen: Alert, oriented.CV: RRR, no murmurs.Resp: CTA.Musculoskeletal: Crepitation in right knee, decreased ROM. Mild effusion. Mild muscular atrophy of right quadriceps muscle compared to left.Labs: ESR normal, joint aspiration normal.X-ray: Subchondral cysts, subchondral sclerosis, joint space narrowing. Which is the correct translation of "subchondral sclerosis"?

A. sub (good) + chondr (joint) + al (condition) + sclerosis (hardening condition) = good joints that are beginning to harden B. sub (upon) + chondr (muscle) + al (condition) + sclerosis (softening condition) = muscle tissue upon the bone is beginning to soften C. sub (out) + chondr (movement) + al (pertaining to) + sclerosis (softening condition) = pertaining to movement outside the range of motion D. sub (bad) + chondr (bone) + al (condition) + sclerosis (hardening condition) = bad bone hardening condition E. sub (beneath) + chondr (cartilage) + al (pertaining to) + sclerosis (hardening condition) = hardening condition beneath the cartilage
