Abstract: The clinical term osteoarthritis (OA) refers to a collection of degenerative illnesses characterized by subchondral bone remodeling, progressively diminishing articular cartilage, and usually moderate synovitis. It is generally accepted that OA has a complicated etiology including immunological, metabolic, and mechanical components. Many environmental risk factors can initiate many disease pathways, such as trauma, low levels of education, obesity, and occupation. Epidemiological principles can be used to explain the distribution of OA in the community as well as the impact of risk factors on the onset and progression of the illness. Alterations in one tissue could effect changes in the other and ultimately influence how osteoarthritis (OA) progresses. This illustrates the dynamic interaction between cartilage and bone. Bone cells from OA patients have the capacity to alter chondrocyte metabolism. Traditionally, a physical examination has been used to diagnose OA clinically. This examination assesses joint soreness, swelling or abnormalities, and range of motion. An increasing amount of research indicates that recreational running, which is a non-contact/collision exercise, is not associated with an increased risk of developing knee OA or having it worsen. Osteoarthritis (OA) has a complex etiology that involves elements including trauma, aging, obesity, mechanical stress, kinematics, muscle restrictions, and inflammation that deteriorates cartilage. Both surgical and noninvasive methods are used to manage or treat osteoarthritis.
