 we all know arthritis is a global burden and patients actually don't have to suffer from crippling pain or deformity. We are there to help them. But before we tell what treatment we as orthopedic surgeons can do, patients can help themselves. They should take healthy diet, keep their weight down and do regular exercises to help their arthritic pain or delay their arthritis in the future. If they get crippling pain and they suffer from day to day pain, then they should see their doctor.
