Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of joints. The major clinical features are pain and stiffness, leading to decline in physical function. Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is a complex multifactorial disease. Risk factors are broadly divisible into those that are conistitutional or genetic and those that are local and driven by biomechanical elements (Mounach et al., 2007).
