A clinical diagnosis where an X-ray often isn’t necessary. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a clinical diagnosis, meaning that a diagnosis should be made primarily through a clinical examination by a doctor or a physiotherapist.

A previous joint injury increases the risk of developing osteoarthritis already between the ages of 25-35. Young athletes who have suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear or a meniscus injury may proceed to develop knee osteoarthritis already 15-20 years after their injury. Being diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA) at an early age is not uncommon and there is a strong link between severe

The articular cartilage consists of cartilage cells (also known as chondrocytes) surrounded by extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is a network of proteins and sugar molecules and contains a large proportion of water. The water helps to create an impact-absorbing effect in the joint and reduces joint friction. As it is the cartilage cells that produce and maintain the extracellular matr

Osteoarthritis (OA) affects not only the cartilage but the entire joint, i.e., the synovium, the joint capsule, the synovial fluid, the menisci, the ligaments, the muscles, and the bones. The exact order in which the joint is affected is not clear and can most likely differ from case to case. However, the main sign of the disease is cartilage degeneration which impairs joint function. A healthy jo
