摘 要：Osteoarthritis is a medical condition characterized by the degeneration of the cartilage, a flexible connective tissue in animals present in the bronchial tubes, intervertebral discs, ear, nose, rib cage, and joints between the bones. The symptoms, such as stiffness, inflammation, pain, and loss of movement of the joints, usually develop progressively and the disease often gradually worsens. Although the exact etiology of osteoarthritis is not entirely known, increasing age, obesity, overuse of the joints, weak thigh muscles, and genetics are some of the common risk factors. Currently, no cure for the disease exists; however, symptomatic treatment provided to patients depends on the affected joints of the hand, wrist, neck, back, knee, and hip and involves medication and exercise.
