Causes

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a result of variety of of disorders leads to structural and functional failure in a involved joints. Osteoarthritis Traditionally has been considered as a disease specifically related to articular cartilage, but noways its been proven that OA influencing the whole joint system consisted of: capsule, and synovium, subchondral bone, cartilage, menisci, ligaments, and periarticular muscle.

occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joints gradually deteriorates. Cartilage is a firm, slippery tissue that permits nearly frictionless joint motion.
