- In OA, this cartilage breaks down.OA usually occurs in the fingers and weight-bearing joints; these include, knees, feet, hips and back. Osteoarthritis is the result of changes in the cells of the cartilage resulting in a loss of elasticity. Over time this causes the cartilage to thin out and in some situation breakdown all together. This leaves the ends of the bone without its smooth covering, and the joint loses its easy mobility..
