Knee arthritis
What is knee arthritis?
If large areas of protective cartilage are lost from the joint surface then arthritis develops. This is a common and painful condition that is often associated with stiffness, swelling and joint deformity (bowing of the legs). The commonest form of knee arthritis is osteoarthritis. This is often referred to as ‘wear and tear’ arthritis and tends to occur in mid to older age. Some factors including knee injury, infections, family history and obesity may increase the chance of developing osteoarthritis or cause it to present at an earlier age.
