Abstract:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease that involves degeneration of articular cartilage, limited intra-articular inflammation manifested by synovitis and changes in the subchondral bone. After the articular cartilage's stability and complex structure in the framework of pressure-proof were destruct, the ability to repair by itself was weak. Therefore early diagnosis in the treatment of osteoarthritis is a focal ponit. This paper addressed on the characteristics of diagnosis of OA in the relevant objective diagnostic methods.
