Abstract

OA is a degenerative disease of articular cartilage that occurs even in young people and results in pain, swelling, stiffness, a decreased ability to move and, sometimes, the formation of bone spurs (Arokoski in Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports 10:186–198, 2000; Sharma in Current opinion in rheumatology 13:441–446, 2001).
