Osteoarthritis is a condition that affects the joints. It is the most prevalent arthritic condition in the UK, affecting an estimated 8.5 million people.
Osteoarthritis manifests itself in a number of ways :
- it causes damage to cartilage - the strong, smooth surface that lines the bones and allows joints to move easily and without friction,
- it results in bony growths developing around the edge of the joints, and
- it causes mild inflammation of the tissues around the joints (synovitis).
