Understanding Cartilage Loss in the Knee and Its Impact
Cartilage in the knee is a smooth, rubbery tissue cushioning bone ends in the joint, essential for pain-free movement and stability. Damage or loss of knee cartilage due to injury, aging, or conditions like osteoarthritis causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited mobility. Risk factors include obesity and knee alignment issuesCartilage in the knee is a smooth, rubbery tissue cushioning bone ends in the joint, essential for pain-free movement and stability. Damage or loss of knee cartilage due to injury, aging, or conditions like osteoarthritis causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited mobility. Risk factors include obesity and knee alignment issues like valgus. Early symptoms involve aching and grinding sensations, with diagnosis via clinical exams and imaging. Cartilage loss leads to increased bone friction, inflammation, muscle weakening, and altered gait. Preventive strategies focus on maintaining healthy weight, low-impact exercises, physiotherapy for alignment, and avoiding overuse. Prompt medical attention for persistent knee pain aids early intervention, potentially delaying surgery. Understanding knee cartilage’s role, symptoms of its loss, and prevention helps preserve joint health and mobility.
