In clinical practice, there are many complications associated with osteoarthritis, mainly reflected in the following aspects.

First, the presence of osteoarthritis causes the joints to exhibit obvious symptoms of swelling and pain. Often due to the pain and swelling, patients are reluctant to move, and prolonged inactivity can lead to joint stiffness and significant muscle atrophy in the affected areas.

Second, osteoarthritis often leads to the extensive detachment of joint cartilage, making it easy for free bodies to form within the joint.

Third, the presence of osteoarthritis may lead to the development of bursitis in patients.

Fourth, osteoarthritis can also cause damage to the meniscus.
