More and more people are staying active as they age. This is healthy, but playing team sports, jogging or doing other high-impact activities that repeatedly pound, twist and turn the knees can stress aging joints. Highly active, middle-aged patients may develop painful knees as a result of osteoarthritis (OA)—a painful condition occurring when the cartilage lining on the ends of bones gradually wears away.
