WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS?

►In the knee joint, there is a layer of smooth cartilage on the lower end of the femur (thighbone), the upper end of the tibia (shinbone) and the undersurface of the kneecap (patella). ► This cartilage serves as a cushion and allows for smooth motion of the knee. ► Arthritis is a wearing away of this smooth cartilage. ► Eventually rubbing bone against bone causing pain, swelling and stiffness.
