Osteoarthritis
Definition: Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease causing
deterioration of the joint cartilage (the softer parts of bones,
which cushion their connections to each other) and the formation
of new bone (bone spurs) at the margins
of the joints.
For
most people, the cause of osteoarthritis is unknown, but metabolic,
genetic, chemical, and mechanical factors play a role in its development.
It is associated with the aging process and is the most common
form of arthritis. It may first appear without symptoms between
30 and 40 years of age and is present in almost everyone by the
age of 70. Symptoms generally appear in middle age. Before the
age of 55 it occurs equally in both sexes. However, after 55 it
is more common in women.
The
cartilage of the affected joint is roughened and becomes worn
down. As the disease progresses, the cartilage becomes completely
worn down and the bone rubs on bone. Bony spurs usually develop
around the joint. Systemic symptoms, sometimes associated with
other arthritic conditions, are not associated with osteoarthritis.
The joints of the hands and fingers, hips, knees, big toe, and
cervical and lumbar spine are commonly affected.
