At the end stage of the disease, a failure of the cellular response occurs with a full thickness loss of articular cartilage, thickening of subchondral bone, appearance of large osteophytes and tibio- femoral mal-alignment OA accounts for half of all chronic conditions and affects middle aged and older people all around the world.The prevalence of OA increases indefinitely with age . Global statistics reveal that nearly against chronic diseases states that India is expected to be the chronic disease capital, with 60 million people with arthritis, by 2025.
