The word arthritis means inflammation (swelling) of the joint. The knee is one of the most common joints affected by this disease.

 | In Osteoarthritis the articular cartilage begins to degrade. After a long period of time the cartilage can become completely “worn away” and the bone begins to rub together. |
| In the Rheumatology and Physical Medicine Department we provide an advanced treatment of Osteoarthritis by Viscosupplementation therapy, involving injecting a clear gel-like substance (synovial fluid) directly into the knee joint. |  |
 | These medications help to restore of the lubrication lost by the damaged cartilage and thus improve symptoms. Other treatment include chondro-protector agents, pain relieve modalities, restoring the joint mobility and strength, electromagnetic therapy, hydrotherapy, splintage are available. |
