As the population rapidly ages, awareness of degenerative conditions such as knee osteoarthritis is increasing. Among these, the knee joint—bearing a significant portion of the body's weight—is especially vulnerable to age-related damage
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease caused by repeated joint use, trauma, aging, and other factors, leading to inflammation in the joint. It is classified into stages 1 through 4 based on cartilage damage and the degree of inflammation. Since the condition worsens over time and eventually interferes with daily life, it is advisable to begin appropriate treatment in the early stages.
