Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint condition. It is a progressively degenerating disease that involves the entire joint, including the articular cartilage, subchondral bone, ligaments, capsule, synovial fluid, and periarticular muscles. Physicians understand that osteoarthritis is diagnosed late during the illness, which may be too late for patients to receive significant benefits from medications that change their condition. The goals of OA therapy are to preserve function while minimizing pain and stiffness. This article focuses on the current and potential treatments for osteoarthritis and various diagnostic methodologies for this disease. In the coming years, despite having numerous treatments for symptomatic relief, the treatment plan should be more specialized because everyone might experience improved outcomes.
