'Arthrose' (osteoarthritis) is part of medical terminology, but it is also frequently used in conversations about health. The word often appears in conversations with doctors, medical reports, and health information.

The medical report says that the osteoarthritis should continue to be monitored.
Common collocations include 'an Arthrose leiden' (to suffer from osteoarthritis), 'Arthrose diagnostizieren' (to diagnose osteoarthritis), and 'Arthrose behandeln' (to treat osteoarthritis). The affected body part is also often mentioned directly, for example the knee, hip, or hands.

For the affected body part, 'in' or 'im' is often used: 'Arthrose im Knie' (osteoarthritis in the knee) or 'Arthrose in der Hüfte' (osteoarthritis in the hip). With 'leiden' (to suffer), the typical preposition is 'an': 'an Arthrose leiden' (to suffer from osteoarthritis).
