Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common condition, especially in older adults, that causes pain, stiffness, and difficulty in walking. In a recent informative video, Dr. Najmul Huda, Senior Orthopaedic Consultant and Surgeon at Sunshine Hospital and Trauma Center, Moradabad, explains everything you need to know about this condition in simple language.
What is Osteoarthritis of the Knee?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of arthritis where the cartilage in the knee joint wears down over time. Cartilage acts like a cushion between the bones. When it wears away, bones rub against each other, causing pain, swelling, and reduced movement.
Common Symptoms
- Knee pain during or after movement
- Stiffness in the knee, especially in the morning
- Swelling around the knee joint
- Difficulty in climbing stairs or walking
- Cracking sound while moving the knee
Causes of Osteoarthritis
According to Dr. Najmul Huda, osteoarthritis of the knee can be caused by several factors:
- Age: It’s more common in people over 50
- Obesity: Extra weight puts more pressure on the knee
- Previous injuries: Old fractures or ligament injuries
- Genetics: Family history of arthritis
- Overuse: Repetitive stress on the knee from certain jobs or sports
How is it Diagnosed?
At Sunshine Hospital and Trauma Center, diagnosis is done through:
- Physical examination
- X-rays
- MRI (if needed)
Dr. Najmul Huda emphasizes that early diagnosis helps in better treatment and management of the condition.

Dr. Najmul Huda explains both non-surgical and surgical options for treatment:
