The metacarpophalangeal joint of the progressive ankylosis mouse was examined at 4, 6 and 8 weeks of age by using electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis. These studies describe the progression of the disorder, and they reveal three overlapping phases: pannus proliferation, chondrophyte formation and mineralization, and articular cartilage mineralization. The chondrophyte mineralized in a manner fairly similar to endochondrial bone, whereas articular cartilage mineralized by advancement of a calcification front across the cartilage. Synovial crystal phagocytosis was also observed. The progressive ankylosis mouse should be an important model for studying both crystal deposition and abnormal articular cartilage calcification.
