Arthrosis

Arthrosis is a type of joint disorder that is caused by wear and tear on the cartilage of the joints. It is a common degenerative joint disease that can affect any joint in the body, but is most common in the hips, knees, and hands. Symptoms of arthrosis include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and loss of range of motion. Over time, the wear and tear of the joint can cause the joint to become deformed and weakened, which can lead to disability and other complications. Treatment for arthrosis typically includes physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In severe cases, surgery may be needed to repair or replace the damaged joint.
