Painful knees are often a sign of osteoarthritis, a wearing down of the cartilage in the knees. It’s a common problem as we age, and your lifestyle and genetics are also factors. When your knee pain affects your ability to walk, move, work, and sleep, it's time to talk to your doctor. Here, Dr. Michael Bolognesi, an orthopedic surgeon at Duke Health, talks about osteoarthritis and other types of arthritis, treatment options, and when knee replacement surgery may be appropriate.
