The sequence of events concerned with the remodeling of bone is widely recognized, although as yet imperfectly understood.' Remodeling of the bony skeleton is continual throughout the life of the individual and occurs in response to alteration in the mechanical equilibrium of the skeleton and its musculature and to changes in the metabolic functions of the body. Any changes in the skeleton are inevitably transmitted to the joints, which may respond by remodeling of their articular surfaces. Such remodeling is directed mainly toward the maintenance of congruity between apposing articular surfaces and is mediated through the proliferative activity of articular cartilage, a fact that was recognized by Ogston2' 3 as long ago as 1875. Johnson4 5 has recognized three categories of joint remodeling: progressive, regressive, and peripheral remodeling. Progressive remodeling is the formation and addition of tissue to the articular surface. It is brought about by proliferation of articular cartilage followed by mineralization of the newly formed cartilage and the eventual replacement of this mineralized cartilage by bone. Regressive remodeling is the removal of articular tissue, initially by osteoclastic resorption of the subarticular bone, and replacement of the resorbed region by new formation of cartilage and bone. Peripheral remodeling, as the name implies, is the addition of tissue to the periphery of the joint surface and is effected in a manner similar to the progressive type, except that periosteum also may be involved. Ogston2' I recorded that articular remodeling is initiated from a "focus of central growth" within the articular cartilage, from which growth takes place "towards the joint surface as well as towards the bone." Such a focus within hyaline articular cartilage is not easily demonstrated because proliferative activity, judged by the presence of mitotic
