arthritis are mainly seen as genetically which
occurs with the age. Also this can be hereditary
too causing degeneration of the bones.

cause is not known. It can be due to wear and
tear of the bone and surrounding
structures. 2.Secondary arthritis- main causes
of this are trauma from injury, obesity, diseases
to the joints or surrounding cartilages.
