Etoricoxib decreases subchondral bone mass and attenuates biomechanical properties at the early stage of osteoarthritis in a mouse model
Etoricoxib, a selective Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, is commonly used in osteoarthritis (OA) for pain relief, however, little is known about the effects on subchondral bone. In the current study, OA was induced via destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) in C57BL/6 mice. Two days after s...
