Osteoarthritis is a common condition that not only affects the elderly but anybody of any age. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint but most commonly affects joints in the hands, knees, hips and spine. For the knee the risk is enhanced by incorrectly using the knees or overusing them. The knee is an important human organ that supports body weight at different postures including standing, walking and running. In individuals over 50 years of age it is not uncommon for the knee function to deteriorate due to an aging knee cap. Without a change in behavior there is a risk of possible disability that can gravely affect quality of life.
Dr. Suthorn Bavonratanavech; Chief of BDMS Orthopedic and Trauma Care Network, and Chief Faculty of CoE Orthopedics Institute, BDMS says "Osteoarthritis can occur as a result of different factors for example from inherited genetic disorders, any accident that causes broken bones or knee ligament damage, an effect from Gout or a sharp inflammatory arthritis syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis. Nowadays, there are multiple ways to cure this illness whereby the doctor will evaluate and suggest the most appropriate method according to each patient's condition. Of late, replacing kneecaps has gained popularity because afterwards the patients can return to their normal life with proper walking. Moreover, advanced technology leaves merely minimal operation marks without cutting muscles or ligaments. Therefore, the patient recovers faster with less pain."
