Osteoarthritis is a long term musculoskeletal joint disorder that causes damage to the cartilage and surrounding tissues characterized by pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function. The joint disorder becomes common with ageing and wear and tear of joints. Pain, swelling, bony overgrowth, and stiffness can be observed that follows inactivity and disappears within 30 minutes when the joint is moved. The diagnosis of osteoarthritis is based on symptoms and X-rays of the affected joints. Its treatment includes exercises, an analgesic that reduce pain and improve function, and finally joint replacement or other surgery like total knee replacement.
