Osteoarthritis- Common symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee include pain, stiffness, tenderness, a limited range of motion, and a popping sound on bending the knee. Arthritis is a chronic condition that causes joint inflammation. There is a breakdown of the cartilage in the knee followed by bony overgrowth called bony spurs. This causes increased friction in the joint causing pain. Slowly the patient will have a deformity of the joint.

It is especially common in those engaging in physical sports, runners, etc. It causes pain and instability in the knee and sometimes patient feels as if their knee may give way.
