Osteoarthritis

Health Care Term


Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease characterized by the gradual deterioration of cartilage in joints. This can cause the bones within the joint to rub against each other, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint in the body, but it is most commonly found in the hands, knees, hips, and spine.

The exact causes of osteoarthritis are not well understood, but it is thought to be related to age, genetics, joint injuries, and obesity. There is no cure for osteoarthritis, but treatments such as exercise, physical therapy, pain medications, and surgery can help manage the symptoms and improve joint function.

Osteoarthritis is a significant concern in the health care industry due to its high prevalence and impact on patient quality of life. It is estimated that more than 30 million adults in the United States have osteoarthritis, and the cost of treating this condition is billions of dollars each year. Health care professionals such as physicians, nurses, and physical therapists play a critical role in diagnosing and managing osteoarthritis, making it a key focus in the field of musculoskeletal medicine. Additionally, researchers and policymakers are exploring new strategies for preventing and managing osteoarthritis to reduce its burden on patients and the health care system.
