The appearance of the disease is favored by a constant physical load on the knee joint.
And, men suffer from this disease, about half as often as women.
The causes of deforming arthrosis of the knee joint
In the initial stages, arthrosis of the knee joint is caused by the deposition of calcium salts and deformation of that part of the joint-ligament apparatus where tendons are strengthened.
Osteoarthritis develops with the onset of malfunctions in the circulatory system of bone tissue, followed by changes in the cartilaginous tissue of the joints.
Joints begin to lose their former mobility.
The deforming arthrosis of the knee joint can be either primary or secondary.
Primary arthrosis is most often seen in elderly people suffering from obesity.
And, the female predisposition to the disease is somewhat higher than that of men.
Secondary arthrosis may occur after injuries of the knee joint:
- meniscus lesions;
- fracture of the tibia;
- joint hip fracture;
- rupture of ligaments;
- chronic diseases developing in the joint tissues.
Symptoms of deforming arthrosis of the knee joint
The main symptoms include:
- joint crunch;
- transformation of the joint form;
- joint pain.
The solution to this problem depends on the measures taken to prevent and detect the disease at an early stage of the disease. In such cases it is recommended to observe the regime of rest and labor, exercise by the feasible physical culture.
These simple guidelines will help you to maintain good muscle and cardiovascular system, normal body weight for many years.
It will be extremely useful to have a timely call to the doctor.
Many people care about how to cure a knee arthrosis deforming arthrosis, is it a dangerous and insidious disease?
We will try to answer this question.
Treatment of deforming arthrosis of the knee joint
If you are affected by arthrosis of the knee joint, then only physical activity will not be a decisive part of the healing process.
There are two treatment options:
- with the help of medical personnel;
- independent, folk treatment.
Ideally, both these options should be combined.
To begin, as always and everywhere, it is necessary with the establishment of a correct diagnosis, and, medical, and not independent. After confirming the diagnosis, you can immediately start treatment.
Traditional, medical treatment
Usually, the doctor in these cases prescribes:
- chondroprotectors( for internal administration and for injections);
- anti-inflammatory non-steroid drugs;
- vasodilators;
- hyaluronic acid;
- hormonal corticosteroids( for injection);
- compresses and ointments( adjuvant);
- manual therapy;
- acupuncture;
- massage.
In advanced cases, it is necessary to perform an operation to replace a worn joint with an artificial one. However, the inserted prosthesis is subject to mandatory replacement for several years.
All of the above methods of treatment are prescribed only by the attending physician, and, in this case, self-treatment is not recommended.
To my great regret, if the arthrosis is already in the second stage of the disease( entered the chronic phase), it will not be completely cured, but it is still possible to keep your joints in good condition and prevent the progression of the disease.
