Noninflammatory degenerative disease of the knee joint consisting of three large categories: conditions that block normal synchronous movement, conditions that produce abnormal pathways of motion, and conditions that cause stress concentration resulting in changes to articular cartilage.

Condition: Degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis (OA), is a common “wear and tear” disease. The underlying cause of this condition is typically chronic repetitive motion that results in inflammation and structural joint damage.
Osteoarthritis is sometimes referred to as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease. It is the most common type of arthritis because it's often caused by the wear and tear on a joint over a lifetime.

Degenerative joint disease, or osteoarthritis, is the most common type of arthritis. While this condition can occur in any joint, it usually affects the hands, knees, hips or spine. This disease is common because wear and tear on the joints over time can cause cartilage to break down.
Bilateral Knee Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease affecting both the knees as a result of the everyday wear and tear and gradual loss of articular cartilage. The common symptoms associated with this type of Osteoarthritis include: Pain in both the knees which worsens with activity.
The main difference between Degenerative Disc Disease and Degenerative Joint Disease is that the conditions occur in slightly different parts of the spine. DDD affects discs directly, while DJD affects the cartilage at the ends of your vertebrae.
Primary osteoarthritis is caused by the breakdown of cartilage, a rubbery material that eases the friction in your joints. It can happen in any joint but usually affects your fingers, thumbs, spine, hips, knees, or big toes. Osteoarthritis is more common in older people.
Generalized osteoarthritis (code 715.0x or 715.8x) affects many joints, while localized osteoarthritis affects the joints of one site.
Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease. If you have osteoporosis, your bones become weak and brittle, causing you to be at greater risk for bone fractures. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, which is inflammation and deterioration of your joints.
