AB  - Osteoarthritis  (OA)  is  the  most  common  form  of  arthritis.  Also  known  as  degenerative  joint  disease,  OA  is  characterized  by  loss  of  articular  cartilage  within  a  joint  resulting  in  chronic  pain,  stiffness,  deformity,  and  subsequent  functional  disability.  Osteoarthritis  may  be  classified  as  primary/idiopathic,  for  which  the  cause  is  unknown,  or  secondary  osteoarthritis,  which  occurs  as  a  result  of  trauma,  infection,  neuropathy,  bone  ischemia,  congenital  abnormality,  chronic  inflammatory  arthropathy,  or  other  cause.
