چکیده
Osteoarthritis (OA) represents failure of the diarthrodial (synovial) joint. Although the pathologic hallmark of OA is the progressive lost of articular cartilage over the habitually loaded areas of the joint surface, OA is not a disease of only tissue cartilage, it affects all of the tissues of the joint, including the synovium, subchondral bone, capsule, ligaments, periarticular muscles and the sensory nerves whose termini lie within these tissues. Furthermore, OA may be result from abnormalities in any of the above tissues.
