The frequency and amplitude of motion of the joints of the upper limbs is much higher than the joints of the lower extremities. This is determined by their functionality.
The upper extremities are more susceptible to inflammatory processes and all kinds of disorders, therefore the risk of developing the disease of the joints of the fingers is very large .These diseases can be divided into primary and secondary, and their cause can be considered various pathologies.
More severe consequences from primary diseases, as they can lead to disability. These diseases are divided into two groups: inflammatory processes and joint degeneration.
Arthritis is a disease that belongs to the first group and represents, first of all, arthritis, which is caused by an infection. Also here include gout and rheumatoid arthritis. An inflamed synovium is the basis of all these diseases. In addition, it is also a very favorable environment for the growth and development of infections.
These infections can get there both from the outside and come with blood. Outside, this occurs with mechanical damage to the joint, and in the blood they can appear as a result of various internal diseases, such as pneumonia, gonorrhea and others.
In this case, the joint itself begins to swell, pains appear and the local temperature rises. Further, it ceases to perform its functions, and if not carried out timely treatment, it can deform and lose mobility. Medical intervention in this case provides:
- fluid suction;
- antibiotic therapy;
- and in some neglected cases, surgical intervention is possible, in which the joint is drained.
Another disease of this industry is gout, which is also called the "meat-eating disease".Since it occurs more often in men who overeat meat. It is the purines contained in the meat in the human body that, when exchanged incorrectly, crystallize and cause sharp, searing or pulsating pain.
Other causes of skeletal disease can be damage to the cartilaginous tissues that are aging and being destroyed by .The skeleton becomes very brittle and loses its natural ability to slip, and the ligaments lose their elasticity.
As a result, small cracks are formed on it, which eventually fill with calcium and this leads to deformation. These processes are accompanied by pain and impaired mobility functions. There are also such diseases of the fingers, the causes of which are not yet fully known.
