Understanding Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of chronic joint pain and disability worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the joints gradually wears down, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased mobility. OA most frequently affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine, and can significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life.

For patients in Kolkata and across West Bengal, Dr. Rakesh Rajput, a renowned Orthopedic and Robotic Joint Replacement Specialist, offers advanced diagnostic evaluation, tailored treatment strategies, and cutting-edge joint preservation and replacement solutions with exceptional outcomes.

What Causes Osteoarthritis?

  • Age-related cartilage degeneration

  • Previous joint injuries

  • Repetitive strain or overuse

  • Obesity and increased joint load

  • Poor posture or joint alignment issues

Signs & Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

  • Persistent joint pain, especially during movement

  • Morning stiffness lasting several minutes

  • Swelling or tenderness around the joint

  • Clicking or grinding sensations

  • Reduced flexibility or limited range of motion

  • Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or performing daily tasks

Diagnosis of Osteoarthritis

Clinical Examination

Accurate diagnosis through X-rays, MRIs, and functional assessments

Imaging Studies

1.X-rays for joint space narrowing and bone changes
2.MRI for cartilage and soft tissue evaluation
3.Ultrasound for detecting inflammation or effusion

Blood Tests

Used to rule out inflammatory arthritis or autoimmune conditions.

Treatment Options for Osteoarthritis

Ideal for early to moderate OA:

    • Anti-inflammatory medications

    • Physiotherapy focused on strength, mobility, and balance

    • Weight management to reduce joint stress

    • Activity modification & lifestyle changes

    • Joint injections:

      • Viscosupplementation (Hyaluronic Acid)

      • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

    • Bracing or supportive devices for improved alignment

2. Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy

Used in selected cases for:

  • Cartilage lesions

  • Loose bone/cartilage fragments

  • Mild degenerative changes

This helps reduce pain and enhance joint function with minimal downtime.
