Understanding “Bone on Bone” Knee Pain
When someone describes knee pain as “bone on bone,” it’s often referring to a condition where the cartilage within the knee joint has worn down significantly. Cartilage is a tough, flexible tissue that covers the ends of the bones in joints, providing a smooth, cushioned surface for movement and helping absorb shocks. In a healthy knee, cartilage acts as a natural buffer between the bones, allowing for easy, pain-free motion.
Scoliosis is an important orthopedic condition for parents to be aware of with their child as millions of people in America currently are living with it.
