  • Osteoarthritis (OA) : The most common form, caused by wear and tear of the cartilage over time.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) : An autoimmune condition that leads to joint inflammation and damage.
  • Post-Traumatic Arthritis : Develops after a knee injury, such as fractures or ligament damage.

Symptoms of Knee Arthritis

  • Persistent knee pain and stiffness
  • Swelling and tenderness in the joint
  • Difficulty in walking or climbing stairs
  • Cracking or grinding sensation in the knee
  • Reduced range of motion

FAQ On Knee Arthritis

Knee arthritis is a condition that leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling in the knee joint due to cartilage deterioration. It can be caused by aging, genetics, previous injuries, obesity, or autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

Early symptoms include mild knee pain, stiffness after rest, swelling, and difficulty in bending or straightening the knee. Over time, the pain may worsen, affecting daily activities like walking and climbing stairs.

Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and may include:
  • Non-Surgical: Medications, lifestyle changes, physiotherapy, knee braces, and joint injections (PRP, hyaluronic acid).
  • Surgical: Arthroscopic procedures or knee replacement for severe cases.

While arthritis cannot always be prevented, maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, avoiding excessive strain on the knees, and strengthening muscles around the joint can help slow its progression.

Knee replacement is recommended when pain becomes severe, limits daily activities, does not improve with medications or therapy, and significantly impacts quality of life. An orthopedic consultation can help determine the right time for surgery.
