Knee pain is one of the most common problems that arthritis patients face today. But with the advent of newer technologies & better surgical techniques, a person with knee or hip problems need not worry any longer. How does it occur? The ends of each bone in a joint are covered by Cartilage, which acts as a shock absorber between them by providing a smooth surface. Over a period of time, this Cartlage slowly breaks down and becomes rough. In advanced cases, it may wear away completely. This causes bones to grind against one another, causing inflammation, pain and restricted movement. This is known as Osteoarthritis and is mainly found in the 45+ age group. What is the treatment? There is no cure for osteoarthritis, but the past decade has seen dramatic new ways to manage the pain, lack of mobility and fatigue that are among its most disabling symptoms. |
