What is Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a joint inflammation resulting from cartilage degeneration. It is the most common form of arthritis affecting millions of people worldwide. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine.
