Causes of Degenerative Arthritis
Several factors contribute to the development of degenerative arthritis:
1. Age: The risk of degenerative arthritis increases with age.
2. Joint Overuse: Repetitive stress on joints from certain activities or occupations.
3. Genetics: A family history of arthritis can predispose individuals to degenerative changes.
4. Joint Injuries: Previous joint injuries or trauma may accelerate the degeneration process.
