Keith Holt - Perth Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre - 2019Dr Keith HoltOsteo- Arthritis is a condition in which there is wear and tear of the smooth bearing surfaces of a joint. Initially this wear may not give rise to symptoms. Ultimately however, pain, stiffness, and even deformity may result. A range of treatments, from anti-inflammatory tablets through to replacement, are available to help in the various stages of this is Arthritis ?The term ' Arthritis ' literally means 'inflammation of a joint'. There are many causes of this but, the end result of all of these processes, is a joint where the smooth, low friction bearing surfaces on the ends of the bone become worn out. This special surface (made of hyaline cartilage) is the same shiny white surface that can be seen on the end of a lamb (or other animal) bone, and is responsible for the extremely low friction bearing surfaces of our major joints (about ten times less friction than the best man made bearing surface).
