Home Arthritis of the knee (gonarthrosis)

Arthritis of the knee (gonarthrosis of the 2nd and 3rd degree)

Knee arthrosis, also known as gonarthrosis (Latin: arthrosis genus), is a degenerative disease of the knee joint that causes gradual wear and tear of the articular cartilage. Without early treatment and appropriate therapy, the patient's mobility and quality of life can be severely limited. Seeking early professional help from a rheumatologist is therefore crucial.

Osteoarthritis is divided into several stages according to the severity of cartilage damage.

What is grade 1 gonarthrosis? This is mild wear and tear, the pain is usually mild and the joint is still functioning well. Other grades include:

Grade 2 arthrosis: Moderate wear and tear, the presence of more severe pain and stiffness.
Grade 3 arthrosis: Significant cartilage loss, limited movement and daily pain.
Grade 4 arthrosis: Complete cartilage wear, with bones rubbing together and the patient having significant limitations in movement.

Grade 2 gonarthrosis of the knee: triggers

Grade 2 knee arthrosis most commonly develops as a result of various risk factors, including:

Age: Wear and tear of the cartilage is more common as you get older. Sometimes referred to as primary gonarthrosis because it occurs without a clear cause or obvious triggering factor and is often associated with the natural aging process.
Excessive stress on the joints: especially in overweight people or athletes with high stress on the knees.
Knee injuries: Injury to the meniscus or ligaments can accelerate degenerative processes in the joint.
Heredity and genetic predisposition: Genetic factors can influence the structure of cartilage and its susceptibility to wear.

Early diagnosis and treatment of arthritis can slow the progression of the disease and relieve symptoms. An examination by a doctor will help determine the degree of damage and establish an appropriate treatment plan, giving the patient the opportunity to maintain mobility and avoid difficult operations in the future.
