What effect would the loss of articular cartilage have on a joint its bones and their corresponding muscles?
Articular cartilage serves as the cushion within the joint, and as a shock absorber. When cartilage is damaged or worn away, the affected joint becomes painful, stiff, and limited in its range of motion. Articular cartilage can completely wear away so that the affected joint no longer has its cushion and it begins to rub bone-on-bone. In such cases, there is significant pain, loss of motion, and functional disability associated with the affected joint
What is a smooth tissue which protects the bone from wearing away?
Cartilage is a soft tissue that insulates and protects bones from one another. The wearing of knee cartilage or chondromalacia is caused by the degeneration and loss of soft cartilage tissue. Healthy cartilage protects the knee joint from such wear, and future osteo-arthritic conditions.

Will massage help with osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis indicates damage to the cartilage in that knee. while message may feel good and give some relief it will not do anything to repair the cartilage that is at the root of the problem. Answer 2: Unfortunately osteoarthritis has to do with the knee, bone and cartilage loss. Massage can only affect the muscles and surrounding tissue. It may help to massage this area if there is swelling and inflammation but that will not change the loss of cartilage in the knee. Severe osteoarthritis and loss of cartilage, bone on bone, is where doctors usually consider knee replacement surgery.

What will knee liposuction do to the cartilage between the joints in my knee?
Liposuction on the knees is a procedure that can cause problems if the doctor isn't a highly accredited professional. I believe that if the surgery isn't performed properly that it can cause cartilage damage in the knee joints. Not only is this a risk, but nerve damage and fluid accumulation or fluid loss can also cause serious health problems.
What is facet osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis can cause the breakdown of cartilage between facet joints. This causes pain as well as loss of motion and stiffness.The facet joints are in the back portion or posterior of the spine. They combine with the disc space to create a three joint complex at each vertebral level. These joints consist of two opposing bony surfaces that should have cartilage between them and a capsule around it that produces fluid.The cartilage and the fluid combine to allow the joint to move with little friction. However, with facet joint arthritis, the cartilage breaks down causing more friction with joint movement. This leads to a loss of motion stiffness and back pain.
What is lateral patellofemoral joint chondral loss?
Overuse, injury or other factors may lead to a condition known as chondromalacia patella, a general term indicating damage to the cartilage under your kneecap. A more accurate term for chondromalacia patella is patellofemoral pain syndrome.
