Progressive wear-and-tear of the knee joint that can limit movement over time.
Degenerative knee conditions describe the progressive breakdown of the joint's cartilage and surrounding structures over time. This process can gradually limit movement and affect daily activities.
Age, previous injuries, joint loading, genetics and other medical factors can all contribute to degenerative changes.
A structured evaluation — history, examination and imaging — helps assess the degree of degeneration and guide management.
Options are individualized and may include education, physiotherapy, activity modification, pain management and, when appropriate, surgical consideration such as knee replacement.
