Knee OA
Knee osteoarthritis is very common, comprising the largest proportion of all cases and affecting 12.4 million (33.6%) adults over the age of 65. There are five phenotypes: (a) minimal joint disease phenotype, (b) strong muscle phenotype, (c) nonobese and weak muscle phenotype, (d) obese and weak muscle phenotype, and (d) depressive phenotype.
Hip osteoarthritis stands for 13% in osteoarthritic patients and a major cause of pain and disability in the elderly population. Three different subtypes (normotrophic, hypertrophic, and atrophic) of hip OA have been considered nowadays.
Shoulder OA is the final diagnosis in 5% of those who report shoulder pain, affecting up to 32.8% of patients over the age of sixty years. Its prevalence increases with age, and women appear to be more susceptible than men.
Ankle OA has a prevalence of less than 1% of the world’s adult population. Approximately 30% of ankle OA cases are idiopathic and affect a relatively younger population as compared with other OA joint afflictions.
OA is far less common at the elbow than at the other upper limb joints and even seems rare. Symptomatic elbow OA is a relatively rare condition that comprises only up to 2% of patients with elbow arthritis and almost exclusive to males. According to the joint side involved, the elbow OA can be categorized as humeroradial OA and humeroulnar OA.
Lumbar spine osteoarthritis (OA) is very common, with estimates of prevalence ranging from 40 to 85%. Facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA) is a common disease widely prevalent in older adults causing low back and lower extremity pain.
Little focus is given to the incidence of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) OA, although it may lead to dental malocclusion and reduced health-related quality of life. In an age group of 9-90 years, the percentage of TMJ OA ranges from 28% to 38% and the incidence increases with advancing age.
