OSTEOARTHRITISOFTHEKNEEJOINT
• Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative type of arthritis• Prevalence increases with age• Ranks as the 11th leading cause of years lived with
disability - 3rd greatest contributor to loss of health-related quality of life • Risk factors: aging, obesity and mechanical stress
