Honarthrosis theology - deformity, destruction and death of cartilage tissue.Most often, arthrosis is found among the elderly.This disease is a long and long recovery.
The fight against arthrosis is aimed at destroying the symptoms and causes of arthrosis of the knee joint.Arthrosis begins its development due to insufficient nutrient intake in cartilage.That is, the main reason is the wrong way of life.
In order to make the correct diagnosis and timely prescribing of treatment, it is necessary to examine cartilage tissue.
Clinical signs of tissue strain deformation
Many signs of gonarthrosis can be false, indicating another disease.
The initial signs of knee arthrosis:
- Pain.
- Cartilage.
- Reducing mobility.
Arthrosis is a difficult condition of the knee joint.It can last for years, in no way surrendered, in addition to poor pain, until the final explosion of the immune system appears, which will give impetus to a sharp exacerbation of the disease.
Permanent pain syndrome is accompanied by knee arthrosis, the symptoms of pain are caused by injury to the tissues of cartilage.The pain increases, at first it is weak, which occurs in the first stages because of the loads.In the short stages it increases and begins to appear at rest.Along with the pain, a characteristic crunch may occur.The signs of crunching are due to the weakness of the bonds or excessive mobility of the joint.
Mobility limitations are manifested in 2 stages of development.The patient is not able to perform different manipulations with the foot (bending, squat, walking, pressing, rotating).At the same time as the immobility of the knee deformity becomes noticeable.The knee may swell and swell, marked outwards.The complete immobility of the joints brings hellish discomfort.It's not just pain, swelling and deformity.The joints begin to whine due to hypothermia, uncomfortable position and weather conditions.
What are the causes of knee gonarthrosis?
Primary arthrosis of the knee joint is usually diagnosed in practically healthy patients.That is, in this case it is not caused by any disease, but is manifested due to changes related to age and metabolic disorders.Secondary arthrosis of the knee joint does not develop on its own, there are already reasons that have caused its development.
Secondary reasons include:
- Cartilage damage, which acts as a shock absorber and stabilization of the knee joint.
- Excessive knee load.Namely: wearing gravity, squats, running.Frequent activity of sports type of activity exposes tissue to rapid wear, resulting in arthrosis.
- Joint injury.Early transferred dislocations, meniscus removal or damage, fracture.
- It is difficult to restore the knee joint if one suffers from obesity.Obesity causes damage to the meniscus, the result of which is arthrosis.Due to excess weight, the main load is obtained.
- Joint pathology.Rheumatoid arthritis directly affects the development of arthrosis.The processes of fluid accumulation in the joint, occurring tumors destroy cartilage tissue.
- Disturbed metabolism.Tissues should receive all substances daily for proper functioning.Their deficiency has a negative effect on cartilage tissue.
Therapeutic treatment of the disease
The treatment of the disease is aimed at eliminating symptoms.
Arthrosis therapy includes several methods:
- Conservative treatment.
- Surgical treatment.
- Medical and preventative physical education.
- Treatment with orthopedic devices.
- Treatment with medicines.
Conservative treatment is to change human habits.The patient should adjust the diet and everyday life.
Surgical intervention is prescribed in cases where all other types of treatment have not brought the desired result.Treatment in an operative manner will allow the joint to restore the work of the joint faster.
Therapeutic exercises are prescribed together with the basic method of treatment.It consists in performing certain exercises to facilitate the general condition.It helps to improve blood circulation, which is very important for tissues.
Treatment with orthopedic devices determines a slower load on the affected joint.These include: special knee cladding, orthopedic sections in shoes, crutches, canes and other balance support devices.
Medicine treatment should be prescribed exclusively by the attending physician based on general analyzes and diagnosis.In most cases, they are aimed at reducing pain and relieving inflammation.Treatment with systematic delayed action preparations allows you to restore and strengthen cartilage tissue.
The signs and symptoms of the disease will leave more quickly if you listen to the doctors' recommendations.
