It is a chronic condition that affects the joints, particularly the knee, hip, and spine joints that support body weight. It reduces the width of the joint area and obliterates the cartilage that protects the ends of bones. In addition, it may lead to impaired function, bone spurs, and excessive bone development. That occurs in most people as they age. Young people may also get it as a result of an accident or overuse.
Tendinitis
A tendon that connects muscle to bone can become inflamed and people experience tendinitis. The most typical signs and symptoms are soreness, swelling, and discomfort in the affected area. Moreover, it may result in a decreased range of motion and muscular weakening. It may occasionally result in a noticeable bump on the tendon. Repetitive actions, excessive use, physical damage, and some medical problems like arthritis can all contribute to tendinitis. Rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgery are frequently used as treatments.

There are two main techniques used for joint replacement surgery: traditional and minimally invasive. Traditional surgery involves making a large incision in the affected area, while minimally invasive surgery uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments. Minimally invasive surgery is typically associated with a shorter recovery time and less pain.
The lifespan of a joint replacement varies from person to person, but most implants last for 15-20 years. In some cases, implants may need to be replaced sooner due to wear and tear or complications.
