Arthritis is not something you can put your finger on. Arthritis is the name of over one hundred different conditions that usually cause damage to joints of the body and less often other organs of the body. The result of arthritis is usual cartilage damage which can lead to further problems with unwanted bone growth in joints ligament and muscular destruction. some work is done to try to scrape unwanted bone and tissue out of joints. however the most effective method is to remove the damaged parts in a joint altogether and replace them with prosthesis.
