Osteoarthritis – A Burden Beyond Physical Pain

Osteoarthritis doesn’t just cause physical suffering — it also takes a heavy toll on patients’ finances and emotional well-being.

Each year, the world loses billions of dollars due to reduced productivity, limited mobility, and the loss of independence among those affected.
Early intervention is not only a medical decision — it’s also a wise financial move.

  • $350 billion – The estimated global economic burden of osteoarthritis in 2021, including direct medical costs and productivity losses.
  • 650 million people – The number of people worldwide living with osteoarthritis (around 7% of the global population).
  • Knee osteoarthritis – The knee is the most commonly affected joint, accounting for over 56% of total OA cases.
  • Joint replacement – Surgery is a common solution for advanced-stage osteoarthritis. In the U.S., the average cost per procedure ranges from $30,000 to $50,000 (excluding rehabilitation costs).
