Medical Conditions - Cartilage

Cartilage is the connective tissue located between joints and bones which absorbs shock. It also acts as a barrier between two joints and avoids friction between them during movements. From osteoarthritis to trauma and injury, any of these can reduce the benefits of cartilage and can cause difficulty in using joints.
