Arthritis of the knee is typically a particularly debilitating form of arthritis.[1] The knee may become affected by almost any form of arthritis.[2]

The word arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints.[3][4] Types of arthritis include those related to wear and tear of cartilage, such as osteoarthritis, to those associated with inflammation resulting from an overactive immune system (such as rheumatoid arthritis).[5][6]
