What is osteoarthritis?Osteoarthritis is a disease that damages the joints and leads to cartilage breakdown. The cartilage is a smooth and strong connective tissue that covers and protects the ends of bones in the joints. The smooth surface of cartilage facilitates gliding movements between the bone ends. Cartilage loss can cause friction between the bones resulting in pain and inflammation. |
