Osteoarthritis Introduction
Osteoarthritis, a common joint condition, frequently affects people over 45 but can also affect younger adults. It can occur in any joint but is most commonly found in weight-bearing joints like knees and hips. In healthy joints, a tough, smooth, and slippery layer known as cartilage prevents friction between bones. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage wears or thins, leading to bone-on-bone contact, causing pain and swelling.
