Osteoarthritis is a chronic, uncomfortable joint disease. This non-inflammatory joint disease is slowly progressive, during which joint cartilage breaks down and new bone formations (osteophytes) form. The causes of arthrosis can be age, heredity, trauma, joint and muscle load, etc. Arthrosis can affect any joint in the body, but it usually affects the joints of the hands, hips, knees, shoulders, and spine.
