🎮 Osteoarthritis is the most common joint pathology seen worldwide and is the leading cause of disability in the US. Even though the exact cause is still unclear, numerous contributing factors have been identified. The common final pathway is characterized by progressive cartilage damage and breakdown. This leads to cartilage failure causing joint pain, loss of joint function and eventually deformity. Patients commonly present with multiple joint involvements, with the knee being affected in 6% of the adult population.

🕹️ Diagnosis of #osteoarthritis of the knee is based on clinical and radiological findings. No universally accepted guidelines or diagnostic criteria h exists. The typical clinical features of #KneeOsteoarthritis include knee pain, decreased range of motion, crepitations, bony tenderness, knee bony enlargement and instability. #Kneepain is the most common symptom, and its cause is multifactorial, with both nociceptive as well as neuropathic mechanisms contributing towards it. The cartilage damage, subchondral bone pathology, periosteum, synovium as well as soft tissue have all been thought to contribute to the pain.
.
Grading the clinical severity of #KneeArthritis needs to consider multiple factors. Acute pain can be graded using visual analogue or numeric scores. But chronic pain and functional impairment require a more comprehensive grading system. The Knee Society Score (KSS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) provide a holistic understanding of the impact and severity of the OA in the knee. #kneedoctor #kneexray
