The remaining cartilage partially continues to cover the articulating surfaces of the osteophyte. b Spoiled gradient magnetic resonance image of the same patient, where the same osteophyte is on the upper side of the trapezium. Cartilage is visible in the center of the articulating surface of the trapezium and partially continues to cover the osteophyte, comparable with the histological image
