Eburnation Eburnation is seen in about 3.5% of all cases of the radii analyzed, and is therefore assumed to indicate the most severe cases of DJD present in the Poole-Rose ossuary. If DJD moves in a progression of stages, then it would be reasonable to assume eburnation would be associated with lipping and pitting. Since the complete erosion of articular cartilage away from the joint surface or capsule causes eburnation, in these results it is almost always accompanied by another characteristic of DJD, usually both lipping and pitting. See tables 3.8-3.11 for occurrences of lipping and eburnation by joint surface. Table 3.8.
