Knee joint is composed of four components viz. capsule, synovial membrane, articular cartilages & bones. These all are damaged in osteoarthritis as per severity of the disease. The capsule is affected first when it hardens & contracts. As per literature the etilogy of the primary osteoarthritis is uncertain5. If contraction correction of the joint capsule relieves the pain of osteoarthritis and proves its value in a clinical trial, the whole pathology of the disease can be understood and its treatment planned. With the same view a treatment was devised and put on trial in patients.
