Osteoarthritis is indicated by symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, particularly after periods of inactivity or excessive use. Patients may also experience a decreased range of motion and a grating sensation when moving the affected joint. Physical examination may reveal tenderness, bony enlargements, and crepitus. Imaging studies, such as X-rays, can show joint space narrowing and the presence of osteophytes.
