Popis: ABSTRACT Degenerative osteoarthritis (OA) is recognized as an early‐onset comorbidity of X‐linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), contributing to pain and stiffness and limiting range of motion and activities of daily living. Here, we extend prior findings describing biochemical and cellular changes of articular cartilage (AC) in the phosphate‐wasting environment of XLH to determine the impact of these changes on the biomechanical properties of AC in compression and potential role in the etiology of OA. We hypothesize that despite increased proteoglycan biosynthesis, disruption of the mineralized zone of AC impacts the mechanical properties of cartilage that function to accommodate loads and that therapeutic restoration of this zone will improve the mechanical properties of AC. Data were compared between three groups: wild type (WT), Hyp, and Hyp mice treated with calcitriol and oral phosphate. EPIC microCT confirmed AC mineral deficits and responsiveness to therapy. MicroCT of the Hyp subchondral bone plate revealed that treatment improved trabecular bone volume (BV/TV) but remained significantly lower than WT mice in other trabecular microstructures (p
