Abstract

Osteoarthritis(OA) is often diagnosed by an overall clinical presentations based upon the patient's age and history, findings on physical examination, and laboratory and/or radiographic findings. The present study has thus helped in making a diagnosis of knee OA based upon significant clinical symptoms and signs of the disease condition which might help to detect the early stages of knee OA in patients with knee pain.
