Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (OA), also referred to as degenerative joint disease, is usually the results of wear and tear and progressive loss of articular cartilage. it's commonest in elderly women and men. Knee osteoarthritis are often divided into two types, primary and secondary. Primary osteoarthritis is articular degeneration with none apparent underlying reason. Secondary osteoarthritis is that the sequence of either an abnormal concentration of force across the joint like post-traumatic causes or abnormal articular cartilage, like atrophic arthritis (RA). Osteoarthritis is usually a progressive disease which will eventually cause disability. The intensity of the clinical symptoms may vary from each individual. However, they typically become more severe, more frequent, and more debilitating over time. the speed of progression also varies for every individual. Common clinical symptoms include knee pain that's gradual in onset and worse with activity, knee stiffness and swelling, pain after prolonged sitting or resting, and pain that worsens over time. Treatment for knee osteoarthritis begins with conservative methods and progresses to surgery options when conservative treatment fails. While medications can help slow the progression of RA and other inflammatory conditions, no proven disease-modifying agents for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis currently exist.
