Arthritis

Dr. Shane Smith M.D.

“What about my aching knee?”

As an orthopedic surgeon, this is one of the most common complaints I hear from patients. Many knee problems occur during sports or recreational activities, work-related tasks, or home projects. Knee problems may also manifest due to injury, disease, overuse, or just everyday wear and tear. Knee issues affect people of all ages from children to the elderly, and most everyone will experience knee problems at some point in their lives.

Causes of Knee Pain (Osteoarthritis)

Knee pain can be debilitating and negatively impact ones quality of life if not addressed. Chronic knee pain is most commonly the result of arthritis in the joint. Osteoarthritis of the knee refers to the degeneration of joint cartilage and bone, which in turn leads to less mobility, swelling and pain and is a leading cause of disability in the United States.
