Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis, also known as a degenerative joint disease (DJD), is the most common type of arthritis in which the cartilage wears and tears down with age.
Symptoms
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Tenderness
- Swelling
- Bone spur
Causes:-
Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones gradually deteriorates.
Risk factor
Age – People around 50 or above are more likely to develop OA due to degeneration and loss of Cartilage.
Weight – Being overweight puts excess pressure on the knee resulting in joint deterioration over time.
Heredity – This includes genetic mutations that might make a person more likely to develop osteoarthritis of the knee. It may also be due to inherited abnormalities in the shape of the bone.
Gender – Women age 50 and older are more likely than men to develop osteoarthritis.
Repetitive stress injuries – Certain repetitive activities such as kneeling, squatting, or lifting heavy weights can result in the development of OA due to constant stress on the joint.

The grading system of knee osteoarthritis
Grade 0:- In this stage the knee is healthy.
Grade 1 – In this stage Very minor bone spur develops but the patient is not experiencing any pain or discomfort.
Grade 2 – During this stage people start experiencing symptoms of OA. It is a mild stage and bone spur can be observed through x-rays but the cartilage remains at a healthy size.
Grade 3 – During this stage OA is in moderate condition. Cartilage damage can be observed along with slightly reduced joint space through x-ray.
Grade 4 – This is the most severe stage of OA. The joint space between the knee joint is dramatically reduced, the cartilage will almost be completely gone and the synovial fluid will be decreased. This stage is normally associated with high levels of pain and discomfort during joint motion.
