Understanding Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a prevalent joint disease that affects cartilage, bone, and soft tissues in the knee, distinguishing it from inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. It's most commonly seen as people age, with risk factors including weight, gender, and past knee injuries playing significant roles. Notably, many individuals may assume they have done something wrong to incur knee pain, but factors such as genetics can also contribute; for instance, female osteoarthritis incidence is slightly higher than that of males. Understanding these foundational aspects can help demystify the condition and encourage proactive management.
