Osteoarthritis and arthrosis are synonymous but "osteoarthritis" is the most commonly used term in English.

http://www.arc.org.uk/about_arth/booklets/6025/6025.htm
Osteoarthritis is a disease which affects joints in the body. The surface of the joint is damaged and the surrounding bone grows thicker. 'Osteo' means bone and 'arthritis' means joint damage and swelling (inflammation). Other words used to describe osteoarthritis are 'osteoarthrosis', 'arthrosis' and 'degenerative joint disease'.
