When is the Right Time to Have a Knee Replacement? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ One of the commonly experienced age-related problems is osteoarthritis. It is a chronic, degenerative condition characterized by joint inflammation, soreness, stiffness, and swelling. The regions of the body where two or more bones connect are known as joints. A tough layer called cartilage protects the ends of the bones, allowing them to move freely without harming the tissue. Osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage breaks, tears, or thins, causing friction between the ends of the bones when they come into contact. The characteristic symptoms of osteoarthritis, such as joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, develop over time as a result of this.
