When
the knee develops Osteoarthritis, symptoms set
in that are similar to rheumatoid arthritis of
the knee. Synovitis takes place, causing the top
coating of the cartilage to slowly disintegrate.
The thinned down cartilage causes the femur and
tibia – the bones that make up the knee – to chafe
against each other, bone scraping on bone.
The resulting pain, swelling and incapacity of
joint movement eventually leads to a deformity
of the joint and its surrounding tissue.
Osteophyte formation occurs, bone spurs that
develop along the periphery of the joint which
separate from the bone in due course, clogging
joint space and adding to pain and joint decay.
