These damaged joints can be irritated at work, during sport, or in a home-related trauma. Different joints are affected depending on posture, injury, past history, and a range of hereditary factors. It is characterized by a loss of cartilage around a joint, which helps to provide smooth gliding when the joint is in motion.
