What Causes Knee Problems That May Lead to Knee Replacement?
Osteoarthritis: Wear and breakdown of the knee joint over time.
Age-related joint degeneration: As you age, cartilage and joint structures can deteriorate.
Previous knee injuries: Past fractures, ligament injuries, or other damage may increase joint problems.
Rheumatoid arthritis: Inflammation can damage cartilage and other parts of the knee joint.
Knee deformities: Bow legs, knock knees, or abnormal alignment can place extra stress on the joint.
Excess body weight: Added load on the knee can increase stress and contribute to joint degeneration.
Previous knee surgery: Certain previous procedures or joint damage may contribute to later knee problems.
