The classification of osteoarthritis for clinical reports or trials has only recently become of interest. The ACR criteria for the knee, hip, and hand are the only research based criteria available. Modifications of these criteria will occur with testing, newer imaging techniques, and validation of serologic and synovial markers of disease. Much work is needed on expanding the classification criteria to other joints and other aspects of the clinical disease entity.
骨关节炎在临床报告或试验中的分类直到最近才引起关注。美国风湿病学会（ACR）关于膝关节、髋关节和手部的标准是目前仅有的基于研究的标准。随着检测、更新的成像技术以及疾病血清学和滑膜标志物的验证，这些标准将会有所修改。在将分类标准扩展到其他关节以及临床疾病实体的其他方面，仍有大量工作需要开展。
