Understanding “Bone on Bone” Knee Pain Picture

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.

If someone has severe arthritis and conservative measures no longer help, knee replacement surgery is often the best option for permanent pain relief and restored mobility.

Treating Meniscal Tears Picture

Treating Meniscal Tears

There are 2 cushiony pieces of the cartilage connecting the femur and the tibia of each leg. This cartilage is called a meniscus (plural: menisci), and it is present in a pair in each knee joint. A meniscal tear occurs when the knee joint experiences a sudden, sharp movement. At Florida OrthoCare it is important that patients we treat have a clear understanding of how its best for treating meniscal tears.
