What is Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee?

• OA is a degenerative condition in which the cartilage structures fail due to excessive loads or injury and are progressively worn away.
• Mechanical factors, such as mal‐alignment and high torques, drive the wear process.
• OA often has a silent onset so early detection is difficult limiting corrective interventions.
• Early detection is a key factor in managing knee OA
