Gonarthrosis occurs when the cartilage in the knee joint wears away. This can be caused by age, obesity, injuries or genetics.

Treatment of gonarthrosis includes pain relief with medications, especially NSAIDs. Weight management is crucial because excess weight increases stress on the knee. Physical therapy can provide exercises to strengthen the hamstring muscles and improve knee mobility. If osteoarthritis progresses, a knee replacement may be considered. An orthopedist can discuss the best course of action and perform regular exams.
