Cartilage is a type of tough connective tissue with a flexible matrix made of collagen, protein, and sugars which covers the ends of your bones at a joint. It also gives shape and support to other parts of your body, such as your ears, nose and windpipe. Healthy cartilage helps you move by allowing your bones to glide over each other. It also protects bones by preventing them from rubbing against each other(1).
A disorder which depletes the cartilage and weakens the joint is called as Osteoarthritis(OA). It is also known as degenerative arthritis, degenerative joint disease or Osteoarthritis, and is a type of joint disease that results from the breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone(2).
