What is a joint arthrosis and why it appears

The life of a person with arthrosis is divided into "before" and "after". Before diseases were great and small joys, sometimes insignificant problems. After that, only everyday struggle and silent despair remained that normal life would never return. But you can solve the problem forever!

What is arthrosis

This is a joint disease, when the articulated cartilage is destroyed over time, the joint ends of bones change, periastat degenerated tissue and inflammation actively flourish.

Causes and development

Arthrosis can be developed due to excessive loads or articulated injuries. In any case, the process is accompanied by reducing the amount of proteoglycan (special complex proteins). Due to the reduction of the number of proteogles, the wrist loses water, because they are molecules holding it. As a result, the cartilage "Sushi", loses elasticity and elasticity, becomes rough and dry. Therefore, an abnormal friction occurs, as a result. Due to the friction, the wrist is "deleted", the cartilage becomes thinner, becomes thinner. Due to permanent microdamines, growth is formed on common osteophytes. The last phase is a complete disappearance of cartilage.

By mistake, people take osteophyte for "salt", which must "scatter". But they are not salt deposits, and there is nothing in the joints to dissipate.

Risk factors for arthrosis determine its causes. Keep in mind that if there is one factor (for example, age 50), the arthrosis cannot appear, but the chances of its appearance increase in the presence of 2 or more reasons, for example, injuries to the age of 50. All factors can be divided into negeneral and genetic, outdoor and internal.

Internal factors:

• Age. Over time, the body's ability to regenerate decreases, and the cell activity decreases. Therefore, collagen reproduction is declining, the sinovial fluid in the joints becomes smaller.
• Breach of metabolism. Different metabolic disorders can lead to arthrosis. The most common reason is to reduce estrogen levels and diabetes. Various metabolic pathology also lead to arthritis.
  Smaller and vitamin side. Everything here is clear. If there is no receipt of the required substances, then collagen and other substances simply have nothing to synthesize. Pathology can be developed against the background of anomalies in the assimilation of the substance.
• Overweight. A little affects the reason, because the arthrosis appears exclusively due to excess weight, a person must have a weight far over 150 kilograms. But it also has an impact, increases the likelihood of the development of arthrosis.
• Breach of bone development, joints. Such anomalies may occur not only because of heredity, but for other reasons. Development pathology is not a sentence, subject to certain arthrosis rules will never occur.

• Arthritis. In the inflammatory process, the mow is a disturbed joint supply, composition of sinocular liquid and cartilage change. Keep in mind that after the solution of arthritis, the risk of arthrosis development remains until the composition of fluids and tissues do not return to normal.
• Joint cardiac attack. Otherwise, aseptic wrist necrosis. It develops with thrombophilia - blood propensities to form blood clots. But usually thrombophilia does not lead to common common, therefore, the development of arthrosis requires the participation of other causes.
• Chronic stress. Depression and extended alarming conditions lead to reducing the level of regeneration, reducing the protective properties of the body. The probability of developing any disease, not only arthrosis, increases.

External factors:

1. Injuries. They include different types of dislocations, damage to a common bag, bone base base. Such injuries rarely occur, and with a suitable passage without a trace. But in the presence of other factors, arthritis can occur.
2. Excessive load on the wrist. Occurs in professional athletes or among workers who move long distances. But this factor, subjected to the recommendations of trainers and, in the absence of other factors, rarely leads to arthrosis.
3. Surgical interventions(Meniscectomy and others). After operations, patients are prescribed by drug therapy, rest of the bed, other complication risk reduction procedures. With your violation, the probability of arthrosis is increasing.

Main symptoms

The diagnosis of arthrosis is quite simple, even a unwilling person can do it, enough to understand the types of pain in the joints.

Types of joint pain:

1. The pain occurs and increases from the cargo, weak at rest;
2. If the patient is passed and the other person will bend his limb, then the pain will come as usual (due to friction in the compound);
3. The pain from work gradually increases, with during the disease, amplifies.

Another characteristic symptom is dry crumbly in the junction when moving. Normally, the joints also cross, but sound from a healthy wrist is sound and sharp, the joints don't hurt. With the arthrosis, the crumb is, at first, is initially heard, but constantly follows the movement. At the same time, a person experiences strong pain.

Other characteristic symptoms: small mobility, joint deformation appears with disease. The X -Ray image shows the decline in the shared gap, the growth of bones on the head of the bone, their deformation.

Arthrosis often occurs in knee and hip joints, because those who experience increased loads are. Less usually occurs in the joints of shoulders and elbows, on their fingers or legs. There is a variety of disease - generalized arthrosis, in which all joints in the body are affected at once.

Stages of the disease

Arthrosis, articulated cartilage, bones and tissues were damaged. Phases of arthrosis vary depending on the degree of damage to the wrist.

1. Phase

At this stage, degenerative processes affect only collagen fibers and proteoglycan molecules in the cartilage. Due to the change in the composition of cartilage or sinocular fluid, there is a pathological friction, which leads to painful sensations. Pain occurs after intense physical effort, idle disappearing. Common movements are not yet difficult, change do not relate to muscle fiber, a common bag and surrounding blood vessels. At this stage of the changes are not visible to X -Ray or are insignificant.

2. Phase

Due to the abnormal friction, cartilage loses the properties of elasticity and strength, gradually thinner and no longer protects the head of the bones. As a result, they are prevented, which is why the area of their contact is increasing. There is a growth in the edges of the common platform - osteofits that are clearly visible in the X -Ray image.

At this stage, pain follows the patient not only with the cargo, but already with any smaller movements. Pea does not give complete relief, although it can reduce pain. The joint is partially losing mobility, the patient himself is trying and not load the affected limb.

Due to the lack of mobility, the blood supply to the joint deteriorates. As a result, the composition of the sinocular liquid is changing, becomes viscous, losing real estate for lubrication, accelerating the course of the disease. Rendgend shows the decline in a collective jazette by 50-70%, the deformation of the joints becomes noticeable.

3. Phase

At this stage, the cartilage is completely or partially disappeared. The mobility of the joints disappears, the patient experiences a strong pain not only when he moves, but also at rest. The joint gap and synovial liquid disappear, and a common bag of wrinkles and atrophies. At this stage, only surgical treatment is possible with a compound compound with artificial prosthesis. If this is not done then the anti-the-counter will appear with the impossible movement.

Methods of treatment

Even with a 100% Doctor and Patient's devotion, the joint is fully renewed only in 1 phase of arthrosis. On 2 phases, bone deformation is noticed, so it will not be able to return the wrist on the wrist. But you can delay surgery for a long time or even completely avoid. Phase 3 arthrosis is treated exclusively surgically.

In the treatment of 1 and 2 phases of arthrosis, many methods are used. First of all, the medicine is medicine. Various physiotherapy, biological methods of treatment, massages are also used. The normalization of food is required with excessive weight.

Symptomatic therapy

To remove pain, non-steroid anti -infalmal medications are used. All funds have a lot of contraindicates, in addition, they are not recommended for long-term use, as they worsened the synthesis of the proteology in the joint.

To relieve pain, it is better to use selective anti -infalmotor medication. They do not cause complications, have several contraindicates and can be accepted in a long time vague. To improve blood circulation, you can use vasodicating medications or local irritating fats.

Specific therapy

It consists of taking constructors (glucosamine and hondroitin sulfate) - medications for crispers renovation. Glucosamine encourages hondrocyte activities, in addition, it is a raw material for creating proteogly molecules. Chondroitin sulfate increases the ability to proteoglycan to grab and hold water. In addition, it encourages the formation of collagenic fibers and blocks enzymes that dissolve them.

Intra -Articular injections of hyaluronic acid is used. It is a raw material for collagen fiber and an integral part of the Sinovian liquid. The treatment method is common and proved its efficiency. To obtain the effect of a certain therapy, it takes a long-1-1, 5 years, while the cartilage does not return completely.

Surgical surgery

The latest and shortest methods of treatment of arthrosis. During the operations, the joint joint is turned off, the head and the hind of the joint is removed. At their place, the artificial joint is placed with titanic head and high-strength polyethylene lodge. The entire construction is fixed in the bones with the help of the needle.

The operation for replacing the hip or wrist knees is complex and dangerous. Often leads to complications (pulmonary thromboembolism, infectious diseases). Even with successful surgery, the prosthesis "crashed over time and requires a replacement. It happens in a maximum of 10-15 years, and the minimum period is 1-3 years.

Other procedures

Many actions are aimed at removing harmful friction in common, improving blood supply. Methods of treatment, a lot of all of them should be used comprehensively or alternating. We will analyze only a few most efficient treatment methods:

1. Hand therapy. In the process of the handheld therapist "stretches" joint, reducing pressure with cartilage. The procedure should be carried out often and regularly, but the effect appears immediately.
2. Another way of healing common in commonHardware traction. It is used effectively on the knee joint, the knee extends on a separate table using the device. There are a lot of 2 courses per year for 10-12 sessions per course.
3. Therapeutic massage. After the procedure, the circulation of common liquid improves, blood supply increases, and the plasticity of the common increase. The massage is contraindicated in inflammatory processes.
4. Ultrasonic therapy. With ultrasonic vibration, the "massage" of muscles, blood vessels and cartilage peels occurs. Ultrasound accelerates metabolism due to biochemical exposure. It also has a thermal effect when mechanical energy from the sound goes into thermal energy.
5. InPractice therapyWith arthrosis, many exercises are involved, including unusual training, which are used exclusively for arthrosis.
   Here is examples of exercises that specialized doctor arthrologists discuss explanations for each exercise.

Arthrosis dish

Long believed that irregular diet leads to arthrosis and can be cured with a diet. Today it has become completely clear that the diet is not directly related to arthrosis.

Of course, excess weight is one of the factors that speed up the flow of arthrosis, so that the diet is useful, but only on a certain circle of people. Normalization of arthrosis nutrition should be understood that it is taken from excess weight.

Weight reduction is especially important for people who suffer from gonartrosis, because the main weight of the body is on the knees.

When discharging weight, you must understand and use several rules that will simplify the task and give a guarantee of results:

1. Psychological work. The desire to be "firmly eaten" occurs due to certain psychological attitudes, as well as a desire for a reward or calm the nerves with the help of sweet. Such psychological problems deprive weight loss and increasing stress worsens the situation. Losing weight without solving psychological problems gives only a temporary effect.
2. Not weight loss, but the normalization of food. The main cause of excess weight is irregular diet. If you lose your body weight, but don't eliminate the unbalanced diet and then after a while, you will get weight with your personal weight. It is necessary to remove the root of the problem. That is, it is necessary to normalize the diet not in a certain "weight loss period", but forever.
3. Gradually introducing all rules. It is very difficult to lose weight so that all the rules of a healthy diet must be introduced gradually. First, one rule was introduced (for example, not after 19: 00), once you get used to one rule, introduce another.
4. Must be crossed from the menuFried meat, any dish prepared in oil, conitious white flour products. You need to eat more vegetables, fruits, simple cereals on the water. It is recommended to interrupt the daily diet in 5-6 meals, refuse to eat 3-4 hours before bed, drink more water.

Arthrosis is a terrible disease, but with a systematic and timely approach to treatment, it is retreating. To win it, you need to know its essence, development mechanisms, risk factors and cause of development. If you use all the recommended methods of therapy, and the arthrosis will be quite simple.
