Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis, is a degenerative joint disease. It results from wear-and-tear in the joints. In hip osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the hip joint thins over time, reducing the protective layer between bones, leading to bone-on-bone rubbing and the formation of new bone spurs.
