what is degenerative arthrosis
Arthrosis is a degenerative disease of the joint where the cartilage lining the joint erodes over time. This disease is usually caused by chronic wear and tear of the cartilage around a joint, eventually leading to the cartilage wearing away completely, often resulting in your joint having bone-to-bone contact. Arthrosis is most common in the joints of your knees, hips, hands and spine. However, it can affect any joints. The main cause of Arthrosis is mechanical stress on the articular surface of the cartilage, where the cartilaginous tissue cannot withstand this stress.
