Definition of osteoarthritis in English English dictionary

Wear and tear changes in a joint The cartilage lining surface becomes worn away, causing pain and stiffness

It does not involve excessive inflammation and may have no symptoms, especially at first. Cartilage softens and wears away, and bone grows in its place, distorting the joint's surface and causing pain, stiffness, and limited movement, usually in weight-bearing joints (vertebrae, knees, hips). Treatment may include analgesics, rest, weight loss, corticosteroids, and/or physical medicine and rehabilitation or an exercise program. Hip or knee replacement or surgical removal of unhealthy tissue may be needed

a medical condition which makes your knees and other joints stiff and painful. or osteoarthrosis or degenerative joint disease Most common joint disorder, afflicting over 80% of those who reach age

Arthritis characterized by erosion of articular cartilage, either primary or secondary to trauma or other conditions, which becomes soft, frayed, and thinned with eburnation of subchondral bone and outgrowths of marginal osteophytes

generally, a condition caused by wear and tear that causes inflammation of the joint, causing swelling, pain, and stiffness

A form of arthritis, affecting mainly older people, caused by chronic degeneration of the cartilage and synovial membrane of the joints, leading to pain and stiffness

is the most common form of arthritis affecting more than 40 million Americans It is characterized by joint degeneration, loss of cartilage, alterations of subchondrial bone and damage to the extra-cellular matrix There is a 35 per cent incidence of weakness in the knees as early as age 30 Its incidence increases dramatically with age, affecting 80 per cent of all persons over the age of 50

A most common type of arthritis that causes cartilage in the joints to fray, decay, and wear In extreme cases, the cartilage may wear away completely, resulting in a bone-to-bone joint Also known as degenerative joint disease It causes joint pain, reduced joint movement, and loss of joint function The disability occurs most often when the disease affects the spine and weight-bearing joint, such as knees and hips For more information, see the American College of Rheumatology Fact Sheet

The degenerative change of a joint, which makes it less able to withstand stresses and strains, causing pain and change to the shape of the joint

also called OSTEOARTHROSIS, OR DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE, a disorder of the joints, characterized by progressive deterioration of the articular cartilage It is the most common joint disease, affecting more than 80 percent of those who reach the age of 70 Although its suffix indicates otherwise, osteoarthritis is not characterized by excessive joint inflammation as is the case with rheumatoid arthritis The disease may be asymptomatic, especially in the early years of its onset As it progresses, however, pain, stiffness, and a limitation in movement may develop Common sites of discomfort are the vertebrae, knees, and hips--joints that bear much of the weight of the body

{i} degenerative arthritis which occurs especially in elderly people (Medicine)

the most common form of arthritis; it involves the chronic breakdown of cartilage in the affected joints

A degenerative joint disease resulting from the breakdown of the cartilage allowing bones to rub together leading to pain and stiffness; Usually affects the knees, hips, and hands The most common form of arthritis

a joint disease that is characterized by a breakdown of the cartilage and a deterioration of the fluid in a joint; symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain and stiffness

Degenerative disorder of joints Occurs normally with ageing but may occur prematurely in a variety of circumstances, for instance following joint injury

the most common type of arthritis in the U S Osteoarthritis is characterized by cartilage deterioration in the joints and the formation of bone spurs

Arthritis of middle age characterized by degenerative and sometimes hypertrophic changes in the bone and cartilage of one or more joints and a progressive wearing down of opposing joint surfaces with consequent distortion of joint positioning usually without bony stiffening

chronic breakdown of cartilage in the joints; the most common form of arthritis occurring usually after middle age

A form of arthritis typically brought on by wear and tear

A degenerative joint condition that is characterized by the breakdown of articular cartilage (cartilage within the joint) Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain and stiffness in the affected joint(s), particularly after activity

A disorder of the joints characterized by progressive deterioration of the articular cartilage It is the most comment joint disease affecting more than 80 percent of those who reach the age of 70 Although its suffix indicates otherwise, osteoarthritis is not characterized by excessive joint inflammation as in the case with rheumatoid arthritis The disease may be asymptomatic, especially in the early yeas of its onset As it progresses, however, pain, stiffness and a limitation in movement may develop Common sites of discomfort are the vertebrae, knees and hip joints that bear much of the weight of the body

—A disease that breaks down the cartilage that lines joints, especially weight-bearing or misaligned joints; leads to pain, stiffness, and inflammation (redness, pain, and swelling in an injured or infected tissue produced as a result of the body's healing response)

rheumatic disease characterized by the loss of joint cartilage and subsequent joint space narrowing, commonly occurring in the knees and hip joints

A slow degeneration of the joints that connect your bones and allow you to move Aging, injury, poor posture and excess weight can cause joints to wear down and become stiff and painful

Degenerative disease characterised by inflammation of the joints between bones

Often called degenerative arthritis, involves the breakdown of bones and cartilage, causing pain and stiffness Osteoarthritis commonly affects the movement and function of fingers, knees, feet, hips, and back

A chronic joint disease in which the cartilage in the joints becomes frayed and worn Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, and loss of movement in the joint

Also known as degenerative joint disease A form of arthritis in which a wear and tear phenomena occurs at the joint A common form of arthritis, especially in older people

a condition caused by wear and tear that causes inflammation of the joint, causing swelling, pain, and stiffness
