My reading is that it is a combination of both factors- joints are known to
develop
bubbles as a response to movement and activity (over and above the effects of
any
inflammation in the joint).  At the same time, the relatively low perfusion and
slow
diffusion rates slow off gassing which clearly aggravates the problem.
