Osteoarthritis of the knee is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage that cushions the knee joint wears down over time. This results in pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility, making it difficult to perform everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or bending the knee. The condition is most commonly seen in older adults, but it can also affect younger individuals due to factors such as injury, obesity, or a genetic predisposition. As the cartilage breaks down, bones may begin to rub together, causing inflammation and pain. In some cases, bone spurs can form, further exacerbating symptoms. The pain associated with knee osteoarthritis can range from mild to severe, and it tends to worsen with activity or after periods of inactivity.
