Arthrosis is a disease characterized by the gradual destruction of the combination due to the development of dedication changes in tissues.According to who, every tenth resident of the planet faces this problem.In 50 years, the risk of the disease reaches about 30% and 80-90% for 70 years.

General information
Arthrosis is a chronic, long-term process that affects the joints.As you progress, dystrophic and degenerative changes are also an assistant device.During this period, the patient faces the inflammation of the cartilage and bone tissue, as well as the interior and the periodemansial bag, as well as the muscles, ligaments and subcutaneous tissues.
Regardless of localization, the pathological process passes due to a single scheme.First, the balance between the part of the particle, the growth and destruction of the cartilage, and the balance is changed in favor of dystrophy and reverse development (degeneration).In this case, changes in the cartilage microbstructure occur in a cartilage that causes them to thin and crack.
As the disease progresses, loses joint elasticity and becomes more intense.This reduces the ability to fall from the value, the degree of tissue damage during the action is constantly growing and increases in the microtraim during movements.The tenderness of the rooted layer provokes the active growth of bone structures, resulting in the result of spikes and plaques on the smooth surface of the joint - osteoarthrosis is developing.The actions are increasingly limited and painful.Spasms of muscles covering the affected area, aggravating pain and deform the limbs.
Stages of the disease
The arthrosis of the compounds are gradually and develop in three consecutive stages, which determine the severity of the disease in the process:
- Stage 1: A pathological X -Ray or ultrasound is not detected, but the destruction process has already begun;The composition of joint fluids, as a result, less obtaining less than nutrients;The increasing cargo in the field of damage causes inflammation (arthritis) and pain;
- Stage 2, active destruction of the cartilage fragment and bone spikes and bone spikes and growths along the edges of the platform (area of surfaces);In this case, the pain gets acquainted and inflammatory processes stronger or weaken;Spasms associated with the joint of the muscles are periodically recorded;
- Stage 3: Demonstration areas affect the almost all surface of the cartilage, deform the common platform, the injured extremity deviates from its axis;The volume of movements decreases and ligaments weaken and are short.
Some experts distinguish the IV stage of arthrosis.Characterized by almost complete inaction of the merger.
Type
Depending on the cause of the disease, primitive and secondary arthrosis are different.In the first case, it appears independently in the background of a thorough impact of pathological and inclined factors.The second-class form is the result of other diseases and divided into the following groups:
- Damage to compounds due to metabolic disorders or endocrine diseases (Gout, Diabetes, Mellitus, Akromegali, Hyperparatio);
- Destroyedness associated with congenital pathologies (pedagatical disease, congenital lip, scoliosis, hemophilia, etc.);
- The post-friendly arthrosis, which occurred against the background of fractures, cracks, necrotic processes or surgical transactions, as well as the properties of the profession.
Most demand is the classification of osteoarthritis depending on the localization of the pathological process:
- Gonorrosis: Destruction of a combination between one of the lesion of the knee, one of the pallets - Femur Bone and Patella;
- Arthrobis of ankle combination: a large load and often occur in the background of injuries;
- Artroos of foot joints: The thumb suffers from the junction with the most shoes;Defeat is developing in the background of deformation gut or valgus;
- Shoulder arithe damage the shoulder and often in the background of physical activity (movingers, athletes, builders) often in a young age;
- Coksartrosis: damage to the hip combination;Perhaps both of them are one of the two and the frequent reasons for the disability in people of bilateral and 50 years of age;
- Vertebral Arthrosis: Destruction of cartilage discs between Vertebra often affects cervical and waist waist;
- Arthrobiques of the brush joints: The combinations of fingers are most affected, pathologies are sensitive to women in menopause;
- Artrosis of Temporomandibular combination: very rare, very rare, the most rare, in the background of chronic inflammation due to the disturbance or improper prosthis;
- Elbow joint arthrosis: a rare form of disease related to the injuries of this area.
Causes of development
The main factor in the development of Arthososis is the discrepancy between the joint capacity to test this cargo.Acute or chronic, this process causes unavoidable tissues.
The list of reasons that increase the risk of arthrosis of any localization includes:
- hereditary;
- Endocrine pathology (diabetes);
- Injuries of the Article Deukar: Towers, bruises, fractures, fractures, fractures or bones, complete or partial breaks of the ligaments that penetrate wounds;
- Regularly growing joint load associated with the profession;
- obesity;
- hypothermia;
- Transfer inflamed joint diseases: acute arthritis, tuberculosis etc.;
- Blood diseases (hemophilia) occurring in the combination of prices often;
- Acute changes in the hormonal background (pregnancy, menopause);
- Atherosclerosis, varicose veins, thromboflebit, etc.Local blood circulation disorder associated with;
- Autoimmune Diseases (Rheumatoid Arthritis, System Lupus Eritematosus, etc.);
- Connecting tissue (congenital pathological, accompanied, escorted, excessive mobility of joints);
- Congenital pathologies of muskuloskeletal system (straight legs, dysplasy or congenital dislocation of hip combination, etc.);
- Age of 45-50 years old (risk growth is associated with reducing collagen synthesis;
- osteoporosis (bone vacuum);
- Including chronic drunkenness of the body (heavy metals, drugs, alcohol);
- Surgical interventions in joints.
Symptoms
The symptoms of the arthropist are practically independent of its reason and localization because of the joints are the same scenario.The disease gradually develops and the cartilage begins to manifest itself when the cartilage is very seriously damaged.
One of the first signs of the dysfunction is the crisis in the problem.Most, occurs when the knee or shoulder is damaged.At the same time, a person can feel a bit of mobility after continuing, for example, morning, for example.
When the symptoms of Artrosis asked, most patients first give pain.At first, it prevents insignificant and weak, gradually gaining strength and moves normally.Depending on the stage and localization of pathology, a person can feel:
- Starting pain: It occurs during the first action after the inaction of the merger and related to the formation of a broken fabric on the surface of the cartilage of a thin film;After the start of work, the film changes and the discomfort disappears;
- Pain with painful physical force (standing, walking, running, etc.) in the long run: it seems due to reducing the shock of the combination;
- Air pain: low temperatures, humidity, incited by changing the pressure of atmospheric pressure;
- Night pain: Body pressure in connection with venous stagnation and the blood pressure in the bones has increased;
- Joint Blockade: Acute, severe pain associated with a cartilage or bone split in a joint space.
As arthrosis develops, the symptoms become even more important, the patient records the following signs:
- increase in morning stiffness;
- strengthen and increase the process of pain;
- reduction of mobility;
- joint deformation due to bone growth;
- Deformation of bones and surrounding tissues: the process, the fingers of the hands and fingers, become noticeable.
When inflammation is added, the affected region is inflated, reduced and warmed.On top of this, the push leads to a sharp increase in pain.

Analysis and diagnostics
Arthosis diagnostics are engaged in an orthopedic doctor.The complaint and the patient's detailed investigation into the identification of Anamnesis.The doctor, which is detailed during the first signs and developmental speed, injury and diseases, the doctor, relatives, have similar problems.
A common blood test often allows you to determine an inflammatory process that accompanies arthrosis.
The main method of diagnosis is radiograph.In the picture the following marks are clearly visible:
- Contraction of a joint cavity;
- To change the contours of contact bones;
- Anxious bone structure in the affected area;
- bone growth (osteophytes);
- curvature of the axle of limb or finger;
- Subluxation of the compound.
For more detailed diagnostics, they can be assigned:
- Calculated Tomography (Ct);
- Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI);
- Ultrasound of the combination;
- Arthroscopy (internal examination of the joint space using a camera applied through a small puncture);
- Scintignafy (assessing the condition of bone and metabolism in them with the application of radiofarmatic medications).
If the suspicion of the secondary nature of the disease, the relevant tests and consultations of narrow specialists are determined.
Treatment of arthrosis of compounds
The choice of methodology for the treatment of arthrosis of combinations depends on the cause of the disease, stages and symptoms.There are these in the arsenal of doctors:
- drugs;
- -Treatment of Demoration;
- Surgical methods.
In addition, the patient should arrange a lifestyle to seriously observe a diet and cause more damage to joints.
Drug treatment
Determining drugs for Arthrosis is two main purposeful:
- the removal of pain and inflammation;
- Restore the piece of cartilage or at least, even further degeneration.
Different types of drugs are used to facilitate the patient's condition:
- non-metreleted drugs in the form of tablets, needles, ointments or candles;They eliminate pain and inflammation well;
- Hormones (corticosteroids): are presented in severe pain and most, direct joint space;
- Other analgesic, such as antispazmodic movement: Helps reduce pain level by relaxing muscles;
It is important to remember: all kinds of painkillers are only used to facilitate the patient's condition.Does not affect the condition of the cartilage and use a long time to use its destruction and have a serious side effect.
The main preparations for the restoration of joints today are chondroprotants.Contributes to cartilage saturation with nutrition, stop the monument and start the cell growth processes.It means that only the development of the disease and the use of regular lengths in the early and middle.
Preparations and anti-glands that improve microcirculation in textures help to increase the impact of the chondroprotants.The first provides the affected area with oxygen and nutrients, and the second slows down the processes of tissue.
The choice of special medicines, their dose and control regime are doctor.
Non-sliding
The following methods include non-changing treatment:
- Physiotherapy:
- Shock Wave Therapy: Destroy bone growth and stimulates blood circulation due to ultrasound;
- Automated electromaryostimulation: exposure to electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contraction;
- UltraFonopHorez: Ultrasonic effects using drugs;
- Ozonotherapy: Application of a joint capsule of a special gas mixture;
- Physiotherapy physical education;
- Memoryotherapy: Therapy using simulators;
- Joint traffic to reduce the load;
- to massage.
Surgery
Most, a surgeon's help is required in the severe stages of the disease.Depending on the localization of the pathological process and the localization of the lesionary rate, it can be set:
- Ponxation: Portion of the liquid and the penstillation of the connection according to the administration of drugs according to the administration of the liquid;
- Corrective Osteotomy: Removal of a part of the bone followed by a different angle to remove the cargo joint burden;
- Endoprostetics: to replace the damaged combination with prosthesis;Used in extremely neglected cases.
Arthrosis in children
Arthrosis is considered a disease of the elderly, but can be found in children.The most common cause of pathology:
- congenital pathology of connecting texture;
- serious injuries;
- hereditary;
- the work of metabolic disorders and the diapers of the inner secretion;
- orthopedic disorders (straight legs, scoliosis, etc.);
- overweight.
Children's arthrosis is rarely accompanied by symptoms announced: pain in pain and there is no practical stiffness of the function.Monotetic changes were found in X -Ray, MRI and ultrasound.The same products in the treatment process are used as in adults.Maximum attention is paid to the application of therapy and physiotherapy, because at a young age, because they are especially effective.Without treatment, the disease has passed to a complete stage of quick or subsequent mobility.
Diet
Diet is one of the most important factors in the treatment of arthrosis.In the presence of excess weight, the joints need to reduce it to reduce the burden.In this case, a balanced diet of calorie deficiency has been set.Regardless of the body mass index, doctors recommend to leave:
- Quick carbohydrates (sugar, desserts, flour);
- Alcohol;
- spices;
- Beans;
- Strong tea and coffee;
- Excessively fatty and sharp meals.
Canned and offal is not excluded, but significantly limited, as well as salt.Ideal nutrition for osteoarthritis includes:
- low meat varieties;
- fish and seafood;
- Eggs;
- Dairy products;
- Canvas and olive vegetable oils;
- vegetables and fruits, a large amount of greens;
- Pasta from hard grain, pasta, hard pasta;
- High-containing products of collagen (jelly, casting, jelly).
Prevention
It's easier than treating Artrocy.Recommended to maintain joint health for many years:
- carries an active lifestyle;
- Exercise regularly and visit the pool;
- Eat properly, use enough Omega-3 and collagen;
- Prevent BMI overthrow;
- Wear comfortable shoes.
If the disease is diagnosed in an early stage, it is recommended to conduct a regular spa treatment, but also to exclude professional risk factors: stay long-term in feet, violence, vibration.
Results and complications
Arthrosis is moving very slowly.When performing a doctor's prescription, it is significantly slowing down, which allows you to maintain a current, longer mobility.Bible results develop without treatment:
- joint deformation pronounced;
- decrease to full loss of mobility (ankylosis);
- Shortening of the limb (damage to the knee or femural combination);
- The deformation of bones, limbs and curvature of fingers.
Predict
The forecast for the arthosis depends on the form of the disease, the quality and quality of its treatment.Pathological, disability is one of the most common and advanced cases, the ability to move and self-sufficiency.In severe forms caused by knee and hip combinations, the patient receives the first or second disability group (depending on the volume and volume of damage).
