If you have osteoarthritis, you’ll know all about the pain, swelling and stiffness that can be part and parcel of the condition. But what’s actually happening inside the knee?

Here, Dave Duffy, specialist knee surgeon with Yorkshire Knee Clinic, takes a camera into a healthy and an arthritic knee, to demonstrate the clear differences between the two.

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗵: This video features footage from inside the knee.

You will see:

• Off-white cartilage and meniscus
• In the arthritic knee, some of the exposed bone below.

You won’t see:

• Blood (because the meniscus doesn’t have its own blood supply)
• Any part of an active operation
