Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is a consequence of chronic inflammation, which causes degenerative changes in tissues. The reasons for this phenomenon are numerous and varied, but they all have the same effect – an inflammatory process affecting cartilage tissue, ligaments, meniscus, etc. As a result, the cartilage becomes thinner, and the bones begin to rub against each other as they move, simultaneously irritating the nearby nerve fibers. Severe swelling and noticeable pain occur, the joint loses mobility and becomes stiffer. Gradually, ossification of cartilaginous tissue occurs with the formation of osteophytes. Modern medicine knows how to deal with this and guarantees patients relief from unpleasant and dangerous symptoms while maintaining knee mobility.
