(PharmaNewsWire.Com, January 18, 2017 ) Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis, is a leading cause of disability. It is a chronic, progressive degenerative joint disease, which is characterized by gradual destruction of the articular cartilage, hypertrophy of the bone margins, and a series of biochemical and morphological changes in the synovial membrane and joint capsule. This results in pain and loss of movement. It is also known as degenerative joint disease, hypertrophic arthritis, and degenerative arthritis, and is most commonly prevalent in older (above 60 years of age) and middle-aged people (between 40-59 years of age). The exact etiology of osteoarthritis is not well understood, but is believed to be an outcome of mechanical and molecular events in the affected joint. Increasing age, obesity, overuse of the joint, weak thigh muscles, and genetics are some of the common risk factors. Treatment is given depending upon the affected joint, including the hand, wrist, neck, back, knee, and hip, and involves medication and exercise.
