jointing(osteoarthritis) is a dystrophic disease of the joints associated with slow degeneration and destruction of intra-articular cartilage. Over time, the articular ends of the bones reorganize, causing inflammation and degeneration of the periarticular tissues. The concept of "arthrosis" (degenerative osteoarthritis) includes a group of joint diseases of a degenerative-inflammatory nature, having different origins and similar mechanisms.
reason
Primary arthrosis against the background of age-related and / or biomechanical changes. secondary, occurs after injury, against the background of diabetes mellitus or thyroid disease, due to vascular disorders, etc. Damage to the joints of the feet and the development of arthrosis contributes to the development of flat feet, which violates the shock-absorbing functions of the foot. The timely use of specially selected orthopedic insoles allows you to correct the deformity of the foot and reduce the stress on the jointsallows to do.
Arthrosis is the most common joint disease, and its frequency increases with age. But the disease does not occur only in the elderly, which determines its social importance.
Symptoms:
- pain during exertion, lessening at rest;
- limitation of mobility and crunching in the joint;
- muscle tension in the joint area;
- Possible periodic appearance of inflammation, gradual deformation of the joint.
Primary arthrosis - 40-50% of cases of arthrosis. The disease develops on an already healthy joint, and the cause is not damage to the joint, but, for example, hard physical exertion.
Secondary arthrosis - 50-60% of cases. The joint, prone to arthrosis, was deformed before the disease - eg, as a result of trauma.
Which joints are affected by arthrosis?
Often arthrosis develops in the joints of the lower half of the body (hip, knee, first metatarsophalangeal). On the hands, the joints of the phalanges of the fingers are most often exposed to arthrosis. Osteoarthritis usually occurs on one joint first, And then on the second - symmetrical to the first.
coxarthrosis
coxarthrosis(arthrosis of the hip joint) is characterized by a progressive course and impaired steatodynamic function of the musculoskeletal system. It ranks first among degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The dystrophic process begins with the articular cartilage - its thinning, separation, fragmentation occurs and its cushioning properties are lost. As a compensatory reaction of the articular surfaces of the hip joint, marginal bone growth occurs. In the future, sclerosis develops and cysts form in the articular sections of the femoral head and acetabulum. Huh.
gonarthrosis
gonarthrosisArthrosis of the knee joint) occupies a leading place in the group of rheumatic lesions of the joints of the hand. Patients with gonarthrosis constantly predominate among patients who go to the polyclinic, but, unfortunately, they are few of those that oursTreatment takes place in hospitals. Inpatient treatment can have a much greater effect than on-the-job outpatient therapy. Doctors have known for more than 100 years, in everyday life, this disease is called "salt deposition"goes.
