What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis refers to degeneration or inflammation of joint cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.

Common causes include:

  • Age-related wear and tear

  • Obesity and altered joint mechanics

  • Previous injury or trauma

  • Genetic factors

  • Inflammatory joint conditions

The knee and hip are among the most commonly affected weight-bearing joints.

Symptoms of Knee and Hip Arthritis

Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent joint pain

  • Morning stiffness or stiffness after rest

  • Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing

  • Swelling around the joint

  • Reduced range of motion

  • Gradual loss of daily function

Symptoms often worsen over time if not addressed appropriately.

Evaluation of Arthritis

Before recommending treatment, arthritis is evaluated using:

  • Detailed clinical examination

  • X-rays to assess joint space narrowing and deformity

  • MRI in selected cases

  • Assessment of pain severity and functional limitation

Treatment is based on symptoms and function, not imaging alone.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Arthritis

Early and moderate arthritis may be managed without surgery.

Non-surgical options may include:

  • Activity modification

  • Weight management

  • Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises

  • Medications for pain and inflammation

  • Joint injections in selected patients

These treatments aim to reduce pain, improve function, and delay progression of arthritis.

GFC Therapy and Other Injections for Arthritis

Injection-based treatments, including GFC therapy, may be considered in selected patients with early or moderate arthritis.

These treatments are:

  • Not suitable for all patients

  • Not a cure for advanced arthritis

  • Used to relieve symptoms and improve function temporarily

Clear discussion regarding expected benefits and limitations is essential before proceeding.

When Is Joint Replacement Considered for Arthritis?

Joint replacement surgery may be recommended when:

  • Pain persists despite adequate non-surgical treatment

  • Daily activities become difficult

  • Joint deformity progresses

  • Quality of life is significantly affected

Knee or hip replacement is advised only when it offers reliable pain relief and functional improvement.
