What is Cardiff University: Osteoarthritis Insights about?

Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of articular cartilage in joints. It commonly affects weight-bearing joints like the knee and is associated with risk factors like age, obesity, previous injury or disease. The cartilage breaks down over time due to various cellular processes triggered by mechanical and biochemical factors. This leads to pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion in the joint. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications, physiotherapy and sometimes surgery.
