Overview
Causes
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a result of a variety of disorders that lead to structural and functional failure in involved joints. Osteoarthritis, traditionally, has been considered as a disease specifically related to articular cartilage. Presently, it's been proven that OA influencing the whole joint system consisted of capsule, and synovium, subchondral bone, cartilage, menisci, ligaments, and periarticular muscle.
