Other arthrosis - what does this mean

Other arthrosis is a form of wear-and-tear arthritis that occurs when the cartilage between joints breaks down, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. as the cartilage wears away, the bones of the joint rub against each other, causing further damage and inflammation.

What happens during the disease - other arthrosis

Other arthrosis is a degenerative joint condition that is caused by a combination of factors including age-related wear and tear, genetics, and lifestyle factors such as obesity or overuse of a joint. it is characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and a decrease in range of motion. over time, the joint may become deformed as the bones rub against each other. treatment typically involves lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, and medications to reduce pain and inflammation. in some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace the joint.
