Abstract
Osteoarthritis of knee joint is also called as osteoarthrosis or degenerative joint disease. It is a progressive disorder of joint caused by gradual loss of cartilage and resulting in the bony spurs and cysts at the margin of the joint. It is the common disease causing morbidity in old age. The etiology, pathology, clinical features, treatment by various methods including physiotherapy is discussed.
