UNDERSTANDING THE 
CONDITION
What Is Knee 
Osteoarthritis?
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative 
joint condition where the protective 
cartilage gradually wears down over 
time. As this cushioning layer thins, 
bones begin to rub against each other 
— leading to pain, stiffness, and 
reduced mobility.
It is one of the most common 
causes of chronic knee pain 
worldwide, affecting millions of 
adults as they age.
Why Does It 
HOsteaoaprthrpitise rarnely? has a single cause. It typically develops from a combination of factors:
Aging Excess Body Weight Previous Injuries
Natural wear and tear on joints Added pressure accelerates Past trauma can trigger early 
over time cartilage breakdown degeneration
Repetitive Stress Genetic Factors
Overuse from activity or occupation Family history increases susceptibility
