Knee Osteoarthritis Pain

Hanan Elzeblawy Hassan, Eman Mohamed Alsherbieny, Mariam Riad Fahmy

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common joint diseases in the world; it affects 50% or more of the elderly. It impairs the knees among 10% of women older than 60 years and is the main cause of pain, disability, and prejudice in quality of life among elderly women.Osteoarthritis of the knee is very common, affecting 33.6% of adults over the age of 65. Interestingly, women are more affected and burdened by osteoarthritis of the knee than men. Studies have shown that osteoarthritis is expressed differently in women than in men and may affect certain parts of the knee disproportionally. In addition to the anatomic area affected, women usually present in more advanced stages compared with men, have different gait patterns, and report more pain and disability.
