Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative arthritis, is one of the common diseases in orthopedics. Obese people and heavy manual workers are often more likely to suffer from osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis will not only damage patients' bone health, but also affect patients' activities and bring inconvenience to their life and work.
