Primary Osteoarthritis

Primary Osteoarthritis is a chronic, progressive joint disorder characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovial membrane and other joint tissue. It is a common cause of joint pain and disability in the elderly. Treatment includes exercise, physical therapy, weight loss, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, surgical intervention. While there is no cure for Primary Osteoarthritis, the condition can be managed to improve the quality of life for affected individuals. By slowing the degenerative process and improving joint function, patients with Primary Osteoarthritis can stay active and independent longer.
