Causes of cartilage damage

  • Wear and tear: If there is persistent stress on the cartilage it may also get damaged. Patients with more weight are more likely to suffer this damage.
  • Lack of movement: If there is a lack or decreased movement for a long period of time, the risk of damage to the cartilage increases.

Osteoarthritis is a condition that is characterized by inflammation, breakdown, and loss of cartilage.
