Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common problem for many ponies after middle age. OA is sometimes called degenerative or wear arthritis. OA typically affects the knee joint. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder.

As part of the aging process, joint fluid decreases. With wear, the cartilage becomes thinner. If the muscles and joint tendon protection weakens, if overweight, or if it is persistent abnormal posture or activities such as squatting or sitting on low stools, the state would become worse.


Most of the time, the cause of OA is not known. It is mainly related to aging, but metabolic, genetic, chemical and mechanical factors may also lead to OA.


Symptoms of osteoarthritis include:


• The most common symptom of osteoarthritis of any joint is pain that worsens during activity and improves during rest. As the disease progresses, the pain may occur even when the joint is at rest.

• Grated joint motion

• Pain seems to increase in humid weather

• Joint inflammation

• Limited movement

• Morning stiffness


A physical examination may show limited range of motion, grating of a set with trade, joint swelling, and tenderness. An x-ray of affected joints will show loss of joint space, and in advanced cases, wear of the bone ends and bone spurs.


The most common medications used to treat osteoarthritis are contrainflamatorios drugs (NSAIDs). Steroid injections into the joint can relieve pain but aggravate arthritis. Not be used unless absolutely necessary.


Surgery may be required for certain severe cases of deformity. These include knee arthroplasty and replacement therapy.
