Highlights & Basics
- Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and frequently debilitating joint disorder; prevalence increases with age.
- The most commonly affected joints are the knee, hip, hands, feet, and lumbar and cervical spine.
- Presents with joint pain and stiffness that is typically worse with activity.
- Radiographs show loss of joint space, subchondral sclerosis, and osteophytes.
- Treatments are nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic.
