Where can arthritis occur in the knee?

Cartilage loss can occur between the thighbone and the shinbone in the medial portion (inner side), lateral portion (outer side) and under the kneecap.

Thinning of the cartilage under the kneecap (patella) is called patellofemoral arthritis (kneecap arthritis).

Some patients have cartilage loss in one, two or all of these areas. When all three areas are affected, this is called tricompartmental arthritis.

May the divine blessings of Goddess Durga and Lord Rama help you achieve success in whatever you do…Happy Vijaya Dashami and Happy Dussehra!

4 Ways to Improve Fall Safety

Every year, nearly one in three adults age 65 and older fall, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Your risk of falling increases as you age. Although many falls don’t cause serious injury, falls remain the cause of nearly all hip fractures and the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries.

While falls are a real danger for older adults, they aren’t an inevitable part of aging. Simple precautions can reduce your fall risk long before an injury happens. In fact, careful adaptation can allow you to stay in your home and in control of your life even after a fall.

1. Stay active
2. Watch for warning signs
3. Remove risks at home
4. Report a fall

On this auspicious occasion, may lord Vigna Vinayaka remove all obstacles from your life and fill it with joy and success. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
