Fidia offers an exciting therapeutic option to the treatment of osteoarthritis, effectively controlling pain symptoms and altering the progress of the cartilage damage.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative debilitating condition characterized by pain, joint inflammation and joint stiffness, and results in a substantial degree of physical disability, poor quality of life, negative impact on personal relationships, increase of economic burden on individuals, as well as on health and social care systems, and joint replacement surgery, when the disease becomes so severe that pain is debilitating.
