joint(Osteoarthritis) is a disease of joint dystrophy related to the slow degradation and destruction of cartilage in the joints. Over time, the joint ends of the bones will reorganize, and the tissues around the joints will become inflammation and degenerate. The concept of "arthropathy" (deformable osteoarthritis) includes a group of joint diseases with degenerative inflammatory properties, which have different origins and similar mechanisms.
reason
Primary arthropathy in the context of age-related and/or biomechanical changes. Secondly, it occurs after injury, in the context of diabetes or thyroid disease, due to vascular disease, etc. , causing leg joint damage and the development of joint flat feet, which violates the shock-absorbing function of the foot. Timely application of specially selected orthopedic insoles allows you to correct foot deformities and reduce joint pressure.
Arthropathy is the most common joint disease, and its frequency increases with age. But this disease does not only happen to the elderly, which determines its social significance.
symptom:
- Pain when tired and subsides when resting;
- Limited joint range of motion and bite;
- Muscle tension in the joint area;
- Swelling may occur periodically and the joints gradually deform.
Primary arthropathy-40-50% of cases of arthropathy. The disease develops on previously healthy joints, and the cause is not joint damage but, for example, hard physical work.
Secondary arthropathy-50-60% of cases. Joints are prone to arthropathy, and even deform before the disease occurs—for example, due to trauma.
Which joints does arthropathy affect?
Arthropathy most often occurs in the joints of the lower half of the body (hip joint, knee joint, first metatarsophalangeal joint). In the hand, the joints of the finger bones are most commonly exposed to arthropathy. Osteoarthritis usually occurs first in one joint and then in the second joint-symmetrical to the first joint.
Hip joint disease
Hip joint disease(Hip joint arthropathy) is characterized by impaired musculoskeletal system progression and static dynamic function. It occupies the first place in the degenerative dystrophy of the musculoskeletal system. The process of malnutrition starts with articular cartilage-it thins, dissociates, shatters, and loses its cushioning properties. As a compensatory response to the articular surface of the hip joint, marginal bone growth is formed. In the future, the joints of the femoral head and acetabulum will harden and form cysts.
Knee joint disease
Knee joint diseaseKnee joint arthropathy) occupies a dominant position in the arthritis group of limb joints. Knee joint disease patients have always dominated the patients treated in polyclinics, but unfortunately, there are very few such patients in our hospital. Inpatient treatment may have a greater impact than on-the-job outpatient treatment. For more than 100 years, doctors have known that this disease in daily life is called "salt deposition".
