Causes of Osteoarthritis & Risk Factor

Correctly called as osteoarthritis is actually a degenerative disease. The Cartilage of the knee joint slowly wears with time and age, this leads to exposing off the raw bone ends which causes friction and hence pain.

Due to the ongoing reparative process of the body, there occurs formation of the osteophytes which restricts the motion and leads to deformity as well.These changes increase with age. Some people are also genetically predisposed to early osteoarthritis. Overweight or obese individuals also have an early onset of symptoms.
