Which acute outcome occurs when joint effusions limit synovial fluid lubrication?

💡 Explanation

Increased joint effusion volume causes a reduction in adequate synovial fluid, leading to increased FRICTIONAL DERADATION within the articular cartilage because excessive compressive forces increase friction. Therefore, option A occurs, rather than changes in density or other structural properties.
