The term osteoarthritis is a misnomer. "Osteo" is a prefix derived from the Greek word for bone and "itis" is a Greek suffix referring to inflammation. Logically, then, one might presume that "osteoarthritis" means inflammation of the bone. In reality, osteoarthritis produces little inflammation and the pain and soreness is caused by deterioration of cartilage in the joints. This condition is more accurately called degenerative joint disease . Many people who think they have arthritis actually have degeneration of the cartilage in the joints. The joints are the intersections of two bones. The ends of the bones are covered with

Petrella, MD, PhD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 27 - NO. 11 - OCTOBER 15, 1999 R est is an important part of the treatment for osteoarthritis, but it must be balanced by regular exercise. Exercise is essential for two reasons: It keeps your joints from becoming stiffer, and it strengthens the muscles surrounding the joints. Strong muscles provide needed support, making movement easier and reducing pain. This program for patients with knee osteoarthritis consists of five main exercises (figures 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7), along with three alternatives (figures 3, 6, and 8) in case the main exercises are too difficult. To get the most out of these exercises, you need to gradually increase the number of repetitions and sets over the course of 7 weeks. The accompanying chart (table 1) can be used as a guide as you do the strength exercises. It will be helpful to mark the date when you start each new stage. Stretching Exercises Figure 1: Unloading the knee. Put a light weight (5 to 10 pounds) on your ankle and sit in a position that allows the leg to dangle (eg, on a bench, tall stool, edge of bed). Hold for 5 to 15 minutes, 1 to 3 times a day. Repeat for the other knee.

The surface of the joint is damaged and the surrounding bone grows thicker. 'Osteo' means bone and 'arthritis' means joint damage and swelling (inflammation). When joints are swollen and damaged, they can be painful. They can also be difficult to move. Some other words are used to describe osteoarthritis, including 'osteoarthrosis', 'arthrosis' and 'degenerative joint disease'. Osteoarthritis of the knee is a very common form of osteoarthritis. Other joints which are often affected include joints in the hands, the spine, the hip joint and the big toe joint. You can find more information on osteoarthritis in

Osteoarthritis involves the entire joint including the nearby muscles, underlying bone, ligaments, joint lining (synovium), and the joint cover (capsule). Osteoarthritis also involves an advancing loss of cartilage. The cartilage tries to repair itself, the bone remodels, the underlying (subchondral) bone hardens, and bone cysts form. This process has several phases.
