Overview
Knee arthritis is the progressive wear and tear of the knee joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The most common type is osteoarthritis, where cartilage wears away, causing bones to rub together. Other causes include rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis.
When conservative treatments fail, knee replacement surgery becomes necessary.
