Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a major cause of pain and disability in older adults (1). Often OA is referred to as degenerative joint disease “(DJD)”. This is a misnomer because OA is not simply a process of wear and tear but rather abnormal remodeling of joint tissues driven by a host of inflammatory mediators within the affected joint. The most common risk factors for OA include age, gender, prior joint injury, obesity, genetic predisposition, and mechanical factors, including malalignment and abnormal joint shape (2, 3). Despite the multifactorial nature of OA, the pathological changes seen in osteoarthritic joints have common features that affect the entire joint structure resulting in pain, deformity and loss of function.The pathologic changes seen in OA joints (Figures 1 and 2) include degradation of the articular cartilage, thickening of the subchondral bone, osteophyte formation, variable degrees of synovial inflammation, degeneration of ligaments and, in the knee, the menisci, and hypertrophy of the joint capsule. There can also be changes in periarticular muscles, nerves, bursa, and local fat pads that may contribute to OA or the symptoms of OA. The findings of pathological changes in all of the joint tissues are the impetus for considering OA as a disease of the joint as an organ resulting in “joint failure”. In this review, we will summarize the key features of OA in the various joint tissues affected and provide an overview of the basic mechanisms currently thought to contribute to the pathological changes seen in these tissues.
