Arthrosis

Arthrosis, also known as osteoarthritis, is a chronic medical condition of the joints that involves wear and tear and degeneration of articular cartilage and can affect any joint in the body. Cartilage is the smooth, tough tissue that lines the ends of bones in a joint, allowing them to move smoothly and without friction.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is primarily associated with aging and wear and tear on joints, although it can also occur as a result of joint trauma, genetic predisposition, and other causes.
