| Osteoarthritis is chronic breakdown of
cartilage in the joints which is prominent in the form
of arthritis mostly occurring after middle age in the
knees causing pain, stiffness and inflammation during
movement. Nearly 21 million people in US are suffering
from osteoarthritis. Cartilage serves as a cushion for
the bones movement, when the tissue gets damaged then
it starts paining as the joint gets stiff. In adults arthritis
is caused due to the invasion of streptococci bacteria
which damages the cartilage and thus results in arthritis
and joint pain. |

osteoarthritis. In normal cases the cartilage is invisible
as it is made of tissue so the gap between the two bone
of the joint gives the clear picture of the severity of
the knee arthritis. |
