Imagine the bone getting bumped and dented in like that.

So to do that, you actually pretty heavily damage the cartilage, the protective cushioning on the bone to do that.

So going forward, the bone recovers.

You break your arm, it's better in six weeks.

The bone heals up.

But when you're talking about cartilage inside an ankle or a knee or a hip, the cartilage can then peel off.

And that's what arthritis is.

It's when you lose bone protection.

So, there is a potential, depending on when they look at it, they'll see what the cartilage bruising or cartilage damage is.

The bone will heal itself, but the ligaments are the things that can stay loose in the future.

And so, that's probably the more of the consequences will we have further problems with the ligaments.
