Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a worldwide endemic and debilitating disease. Previously thought to simply be damaged from "wear and tear," OA is now understood to be a complex interaction of local and systemic factors. This article reviews the pathology, symptoms, diagnosis, and various conservative, surgical, and novel treatments of OA.
