骨关节炎以一种或另一种形式影响大多数老年人。它必须与类风湿性关节炎相鉴别，因为这两种疾病的治疗是完全不同的。一旦骨关节炎的诊断已经确立，治疗应包括物理，药物，心理和手术措施的组合，以改善患者的生活质量。未来可能会出现新的方法来中断疾病的致病因素。
Osteoarthritis affects a majority of the elderly population in one form or another. It must be differentiated from rheumatoid arthritis because treatment of the two diseases is quite different. Once the diagnosis of osteoarthritis has been established, treatment should include a combination of physical, medicinal, psychological, and surgical measures to improve the patient's quality of life. The future may bring new approaches to interrupt pathogenetic factors in the disease.
