Hip and knee osteoarthritis can affect almost every part of daily life. Walking, climbing stairs, getting out of a chair, exercising, and even sleeping may become more difficult. Osteoarthritis affected an estimated 595 million people worldwide in 2020, with the knee being the most commonly affected joint.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and one of the most common joint conditions worldwide. It involves gradual changes throughout the joint, including the cartilage, bone, synovium, ligaments, and surrounding tissues. Cartilage provides a smooth, low-friction surface that helps joints move efficiently.

Osteoarthritis does not necessarily mean that pain and loss of function will continually worsen. There is often much that can be done to manage symptoms, maintain mobility, and keep the hands active.
