Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is a common condition that affects the joints of the knee, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is a degenerative joint disease that can be caused by a variety of factors, including aging, obesity, and injury. The condition is characterized by the gradual loss of the articular cartilage, which leads to the formation of a layer of bone over the damaged cartilage. This process can cause pain and stiffness, especially with movement and impact. Treatment options include non-surgical methods such as physical therapy and ice therapy, as well as surgical options such as patellofemoral joint replacement or total knee replacement. Prevention measures such as maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and participating in physical activity can also help reduce the risk of knee osteoarthritis.
