Total knee replacement

Osteoarthritis is a condition that causes the cartilage developed by the bones to protect them from the wear caused by using the knee to break down. Once this deterioration has started, it develops progressively. At advanced stages of the condition, this breakdown causes pain and prevents patients from walking or standing normally. There are currently no medications to halt the breakdown at this stage.
