Osteoarthritis & OsteoporosisÂ
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disease and is described as a degradation of the articular cartilage and osteophyte formation [ 1 ] while osteoporosis (OP) is defined as the mass bone reduction, microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue thereby increasing the bone fragility and fracture risk [ 2 ]. Osteoarthritis is characterised by the breakdown of cartilage in joints, followed by changes to the underlying bone and a joint lining that become damaged and worn, leading to symptoms of pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, particularly of the knees and hips. Osteoporosis is a type of weak bone where reduced bone density causes weak bones and there is the increased risk of fractures, common in older adults, especially in women who have undergone menopause.
Treatment of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis typically relies on medications, physical therapy, lifestyle alterations, and surgical interventions in advanced cases.
