The knee is known to be the most common joint
affected by osteoarthritis and Tricompartmental
osteoarthritis is the reason why. It is the most
common form of knee arthritis where all three
compartments of the knee capsule are affected. It
is caused either due to age-related degeneration
of the knee joint, injury or even repeated knee
movement over a long period. In short,
age-related knee degeneration, injury repeated
knee movements are the cause of Tricompartmental
Osteoarthritis and hence, it can affect any age
group people. But more often than not elder
adults form the major share of the
patients. Though natural age-related arthritis
is not entirely treatable its onset can be
delayed and symptoms can be mitigated or
alleviated by taking adequate care, says knee
specialist and best knee replacement surgeon in
Mumbai Dr Niraj Vora.

• What are the three compartments of the knee?
• The knee joint is made primarily of four bones.
  The femur (upper thigh bone) connects with the
  tibia and fibula (lower leg bones) along with the
  patella (knee cap) to form a knee capsule with
  three compartments
• Lateral femorotibial compartment Outside of the
  knee
• Medial femorotibial compartment Inside of the
  knee
• Patellofemoral compartment Region where the
  femur and knee cap meet

• Arthritis can happen in any of the above three
  compartments and when it impacts all three
  compartments it is called Tricompartmental
  Osteoarthritis. Since it affects the whole knee,
  the symptoms tend to be more severe, loss of
  cartilage and thereby knee function, more severe
  when not treated.
• Tricompartmental Osteoarthritis Symptoms
• Since osteoarthritis causes the loss of cartilage
  and synovium, bones tend to rub on each other
  bone further making the movement painful. Some of
  the common symptoms of osteoarthritis
• Localized inflammation or pain
• Knee chondrosis breakdown of cartilage
• Stiffness of joints and movement difficulties
• Knee buckling and weakness
• Bone spurs and change in walking gait
