Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, subchondral bone changes, and inflammation. While numerous factors contribute to its pathogenesis, emerging evidence suggests a potential role of calcium metabolism dysregulation in the development and progression of OA. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of calcium metabolism in knee OA patients, including its implications, mechanisms, and therapeutic opportunities.
