Osteoarthritis was a common condition for cartilage failure. Both his knees had depleted cartilage layers between the joints causing his bones to rub together. ![]() They stuck out so the surgeon could remove them easily. He had metal pins in his elbow so the bones healed in alignment. His eyes were glassy as he stared at the X-ray while the doctor informed him of his condition. He didn’t care and why should he?
