Why is osteoarthritis dangerous?

According to health experts, osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that was once considered a disease of the elderly, but today even the youngest are struggling with this problem. Cartilage does not wear out but once damaged, it cannot be rebuilt. If a person’s bone breaks once, it is repaired again, but in osteoarthritis, the damaged cartilage cannot be repaired again. So, it is very important to be careful.

What disease is osteoarthritis?

There is cartilage between our bones, which is like a tire in the steel frame of a car’s wheels, which works as a cushion by absorbing shocks on the road. Cartilage is present between all joints but the one in the feet is the most vulnerable to osteoarthritis. Once this happens, the pain increases a lot. Knee replacement surgery may be necessary.
