What Is Osteoarthritis?
Common benign tumors which can grow in the uterus.Osteoarthritis is a common joint disorder affecting millions of people around the world. It is a degenerative condition that causes the cartilage that cushions the joints to break down over time. As the cartilage wears away, the bones in the joint may begin to rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
While osteoarthritis may present in any joint in your body, it more often than not affects the knees, hips, and hands. Osteoarthritis is more common in older patients, but it can occur at any age, especially if there is a history of joint injury or overuse.

What is Genicular
Artery Embolization?
Geniculate Artery Embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to treat chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. This procedure involves blocking the blood flow to the genicular arteries, whose function is to supply blood to the knee joint. By doing so, the pain receptors in the knee joint are desensitized, resulting in a reduction in knee pain.
