Arthrosis - What are these causes, signs, symptoms, degrees and treatment arthritis joints

The arthrosis of the joint is a complex dystrophic disease that is associated with the destruction of tissue cartilage inside the joints.This pathological process is the most common common disease worldwide.The arthrosis is manifested in pain, morning rigidity and mobility restriction.The gradual progress of symptoms is characterized, however, the disease development rate can be different.

The diagnosis is performed on the basis of anamnesis, clinical examination and radiography results.The treatment of arthrosis is usually conservative: exercise therapy, anti-family drugs, physiotences, blockage, etc.

We will consider what that disease is and how to treat, we will consider further in the article.

What is arthrosis?

Arthrosis are degenerative changes in the structure of joints that are accompanied by pain and visible deformation.Second name of the disease used in the international classification - osteoarthrosis.

The disease is characterized by slow progress, although it can be accelerated with some external factors.It all depends on the individual characteristics of the body, human disease and its method of vital activity.

According to statistics, arthrosis is sick with 6.5-12% of the globe population.Mostly people aged 65 (62-85% of cases) suffer.There is a tendency to "rejuvenate" pathology: in different countries about 30-35% of patients are people aged 45-65, and 2-3% of 20-45 years.

People who are a little familiar with medicine think that arthritis and arthrosis are one and the same.In fact, this is not the case, because in the first case, the disease is acute inflammatory, and in the second - debt, less pronounced chronic.

Types

The word diagnosis for arthrosis can be different, although the essence of the disease is the same.The most common questions and misunderstanding of patients associated with several terminus conditions of arthrosis:

• Arthrosoartitis is a classic arthrosis in which the inflammatory process is uttered;
• Osteoartost is absolutely equal arthritis;
• Deformation (osteoarthrosis) - thus - late late phases of diseases that are manifested by deformation and closing of the wrist;
• Coxartrosis - an abbreviated term that indicates the hip joint lesion;
• Gonartrosis is an abbreviated term that means "knee joint arthrosis";
• Spondylarthrosis is a lesion of the arthrosis of small joints of spine.

There are many varieties of this disease.Classification can occur based on the localization of affected areas and depending on the causes of the disease.

Types of arthrosis Depending on the localization:

• Knee
• Kokne compounds
• Cervical
• Brahial
• Arms and fingers
• Spine
• Glaze
• Primary polioaaaArthrosis

Depending on the number of joints involved, the following varieties are characterized:

• Monoarthrosis.
• Oligoartrosis - does not affect more than 2 joints.
• Polythrosis - included from 3 articulated groups.

Degree of damage to the wrist

Degree of arthrosis	Symptoms
1 degree	The first phase of arthrosis - there are no pronounced morphological changes, only the composition of the Sinovian liquid is upset.The liquid supply is even worse on crunchy tissue with nutrients, resistance to cartilage in conventional loads decreases.Due to the overload of the joint surfaces, the inflammation appears, the pain appears.
2 degrees	The wrist was destroyed.Osteofiti is formed.The pain during the load and movement becomes stronger, the characteristic crumb is heard in the affected places.
3 degrees	This is the hardest stage of the development of this disease.There is a pathological change on site sites.Inflammation occurs.The patient feels stiffness when moving, because muscles cannot fully contract and fulfill their functions.

Reasons

The formation of arthrosis is facilitated by two causes - load and absence of full diet that supplies vitamins, tissue restoration minerals.The compounds of each person carry the load.Athletes and dancers, with physical work, the load on the legs are higher, which means that bone compounds are faster and require high quality nutrition.In addition to the calm lifestyle, the support apparatus is more slowly, but requires a periodic fabric reconstruction.

Primary arthrosis

This species is most often associated with innate inferiority and tendency cartilage to damage and destruction as a result of metabolic disorders.The most common causes that cause this disease:

• hereditary and genetic;
• menopause;
• Frequent and, at first glance, less injuries (for example, among athletes).

Secondary arthrosis

The secondary type usually deforms arthrosis and advances against the background reduction of cartilage stability to the usual load.The development of this pathology makes it easy:

• injuries;
• obesity;
• League and muscle weakness;
• Arthritis.

With age, the predisposition for the disease increases.After 70 years, the arthrosis is diagnosed with each other retireer.Since the maximum load falls on their feet (a person moving - a walk, stalls, run, jumps), then the first sign was formed here.

Signs and symptoms of arthrosis

Arthrosis belongs to the category of chronic diseases.Sometimes the disease can leak unlimestly, just happen to occasionally only on the pain on a common or awkward movement.But it happens that the disease is developing quickly into a serious phase in just a few months.

In any case, it is important to remember, if you do not treat the disease, its symptoms increases over time, exacerbating the quality of life, and in severe cases - leading to disability and immobilization.

Symptoms with wrist arthrosis:

• Pain.Bolous sensations with arthrosis were imposed, especially after various types of cargo.When a person comes into a state of peace, after some time of uneasy sensations disappear.The localization of pain occurs directly in place where changes have occurred in the usual body structures.In some cases, pain in arthrosis can occur when a person rests, completely relaxed.They look very sharp and strong, which can be compared to tooth pain.Most often this happens in the morning.
• The second sign of arthrosis is crumbly, but you should not confuse this symptom with the usual click on the joints in almost every person and does not bring discomfort.Kruck in the disease is characterized by gross and dry sound, brings pain and severe discomfort.With the development of the symptom disease becomes more pronounced and painful.
• Reduction of joint mobility.It is also considered one characteristic arthrosis symptoms, but appears already in the phase of active disease progress.During the development of arthrosis, grow / germinate bones of neoplasm, leading to muscle tissue cramps, reducing lumen in a common bag - the limit of movement in this place is guaranteed.
• Common deformation.Its amendment is determined by the fact that osteophytes grow on the surface of the bones and the synovial fluid arrives.Although the deformation is one of the latest symptoms, when the arthrosis has greatly affected the joint.
• Changes in muscle tone.Initially, especially with strong pain, periarticular muscles are reflexively tense.In the future, how motorcycle activity is lost, atrophy muscles.
• The manifestations of the skin.An optional sign.In the initial phases, it is possible redness of the skin in the joint projection.In the future, as arthrosis and muscle atrophy advances, the skin becomes pale, becomes dry, pigmented.

Compounds that arthritis affects more often:	Less often suffers:
Knee Hip Brahial Foot Filme Spin (Spondylarthrosis)	Glaze Little joints of the arm Locate Wrist

Complications

If the arthrosis does not provide appropriate attention, not properly, it cannot lead to a complete destruction of the sick joints, but also to the change in the biomechanical spine, which is in second place in the development of the work, so further arthros.

The danger of untimely treatment of any type of arthrosis lies in complications related to it, harmful consequences:

• The inflammation joints are deformed and gradually destroyed;
• Movements become limited, ankle activity is partially or completely limited;
• The spine is disturbed;
• Interdiscuunt Hernias was formed;
• Neuralgia is developing;
• A tool for the patient's life with arthrosis is reduced;
• A person becomes a disabled.

Diagnostics

First of all, they try to see structural changes in the affected areas, to assess their severity and prevalence.Also, metabolic disorders in the body should be determined, which became a favorable background for the appearance of arthrosis.Therefore, a set of surveys consists of the following events:

• Radiography.
• Magnetic resonanceCamography.
• Ultrasonic study.
• Arthroscopy.
• Biochemical blood tests (hormonal spectrum, inflammation markers, calcium metabolism, rheumane).

Taking into account radiological characteristics, experts in the field of orthopedics and traumatology to distinguish the following phases of arthrosis (Kellgren-Lawrence classification):

• 1. Phase (suspicious arthrosis) - suspicion of narrowing a joint gap, osteophytes are absent or available in a small amount.
• Phase 2 (soft) - suspicion of narrowing a shared gap, osteofites are clearly defined.
• Phase 3 (moderate) - A clear narrowing of the common gap, there are clearly pronounced osteophytes, bone deformations are possible.
• Phase 4 (heavy arthrosis) - The narrowing of the common gap, large osteophytes, pronounced deformation of bones and osteookclerosis.

Please note: the course of the disease being considered is very slow and in the first phase cannot characterize any symptoms, and inconsistent community pain and increased fatigue can be inherent even healthy people.Therefore, an independent diagnosis of arthrosis is almost impossible.

How to Treat Arthrosis of Joints

Principles of arthrosis treatment:

• Eliminate excessive loads on joints;
• Therapy Anti -infalmatory and analgesic tablets.Also, in complex therapy, hondroprotectors are actively used for arthrosis;
• Physical education of physiotherapy;
• Sanatorium treatment;
• Magnetotherapy, electrotherapy, laser therapy, striking wave therapy;
• intra -articular oxygenotherapy;
• Intraosseus blockade;
• It is important to choose the appropriate nutrest nutrition.

Methods of medicines

How to treat drug arthrosis?This is the question most often among patients.Treatment is performed using three groups of drugs:

1. Chondroprotectors.The drugs of this group return Hijalin cartilage, because they contain components that are part of that.Not all patients in the form of long-term paper (courses 3-4 months 2 times a year).Use tablets and capsules.
2. Hormonal corticosteroids.This group of drugs is most efficient in the period of aggravation of arthrosis.Intramuscular injections are most often made.But a similar category of drugs in the pharmacies is also presented in the form of mortar, fat - used only outside, you can expect a fairly fast and strong effect.
3. Use of non-athein -infammatary drugs to reduce pain and eliminate inflammatory process.
4. Injection.Injection drugs quickly stop pain, reduce active symptoms.Intramuscular, intravenous or intra -Artical administration of the drug should only be performed by a medical worker.These funds are unable to save the patient from the cause of the disease development, but effectively reduce its negative events.

The drugs are used from other drug treatment medications:

• Improving blood in the joints;
• Improving oxygen supply - vitamins "B";
• acting on metabolism in cartilage;
• Desensitive agents that reduce body reactivity;
• Synthetic hormones of the adrenal glands.

Surgical treatment

Surgical methods involve two ways to troubleshoot:

1. Arthroscopy is an operation that is done on a painful compound.The puncture is introduced a special needle that removes damaged areas and a flush affected area.
2. Prosthetics is a complex operation consisting of removing damaged joints and installation of the new one.The modern orthopedy enters far forward, releasing new, improved dentures that the body extremely rarely refuses by the body, and their wearing does not cause discomfort.

Exercise therapy for arthrosis

Medical physical education is used for arthrosis in a subacute phase.Main tasks of exercising therapy:

• Orthopedic correction (elimination of disadvantages of affected limbs);
• Reduction of static load on joints;
• Improving the mobility of the common or prevention of its decay.

Digoen gymnastics and set of exercises for unnecessary muscles and joints are performed.Exercises for affected joints are performed in a false position, on the side or on the back, sitting.They are alternated with breathing exercises that help relax muscles.The patient performs movements in the affected connection independently or with the help of an instructor.

During class, pain appears should not be allowed.Exercises are performed at a slow pace and only after removing acute symptoms.A sudden and high amplitude movements should be avoided, which can cause unpleasant sensations.

Physical vaspers must be included in the supervision of the doctor, and after gaining the necessary skills you can start home exercises.

Physiotherapy and hand therapy

The use of these treatment methods gives very good results in the initial phases of arthrosis.

1. Only an experienced medical doctor proved in the treatment of articular pathology should be performed.For example, in the treatment of knee joint arthrosis, hand therapy, with extraction of limbs, intra -articular injections and getting hondroprotectors can quickly put patient on their feet.
2. Physiotherapy is used as an auxiliary treatment for accelerating the remediation deadline.Their main goal is to reduce inflammation and speed up tissue regeneration.Such procedures such as: laser and cryotherapy, thermal treatment - a score, baths with mud, paraffin therapy and UOF widely used.

Food and diet

The joint arthrosis diets aims to correct metabolic processes, body weight, preventing non-refundable changes in the Croatian cartilage, reduction in the inflammatory process and strengthening couplings for the coupling.There is no special diet with ankle arthrosis.The following principles are based on therapy diet:

1. Food should be physiologically full and balanced with a high vitamin and mineral content.The energy value of the patients for patients with normal weight should correspond to the average value of daily energy consumption and does not exceed it.
2. The use of salt is limited to 5-8 g / day, as well as salty products (solving, canned food, chips, salty fish).
3. The use of free liquid should be increased to 2-2.5 l / day.
4. It is necessary to turn off the processing of products using frying.The food should be baked, steamed, cooking or gul.
5. You have to switch to fraction, fractional diet.
6. Food should be taken in small portions, which will exclude overeating and weight gain.

With arthrosis, the use of hard extreme diet is prohibited.Since in this type of nutrition, the body expels a large amount of liquid, which in turn, washed calcium and potassium from bones and joints.

Useful products:

• Fish and seafood, walnuts, bed linen, as a source of omega - 3.
• Low -fat meat and want.
• Products rich vitamin E, D, C, A and Groups B. These are fresh fruits, vegetables and berries.It is especially useful to use: beets, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, blueberries, legumes, bananas, oranges, apples and entire grain bread.
• Ginger and other spices.
• Milk and dairy products are an excellent source of calcium.
• Useful freshly squeezed juices.

Forbidden products:

• Fast food, sausage products, semi-refined products, chips and all refined products.
• Oily meat.
• SDOBA, white bread, sugar.
• Fat dairy products, salty cheeses.
• Mayonnaise, Transgene Fat.
• White rice, self.
• Marinades, preservation, salting.
• Alcohol, energy, soda.

Folk treatment methods

Before using any folk drugs for arthrosis, be sure to contact your doctor's presence.

1. Keepers and blueberries spruce in a homogeneous mass.Connect to Putle 1: 3. To soften the pain, rub pain compounds up to 3 times a day.
2. Roots, flowers or branches old for older black.Pour 1 tbsp.Spoon raw material with 1 glass of boiling water.Insist, wrap, 3 hours, and then strain.Drink 1/4 cup up to 4 times a day 30 minutes before meals.
3. Cook 10 g of a list of leaves in 250 ml of water for five minutes.Leave five hours.Drink occasionally in small lizards all day.We treated three days, we rest for five, then we treat yourself for three days.
4. Mustard compresses honey.Mix the mustard powder with honey and add one egg.Put the resulting fat on the gauze and apply to a painful place.
5. Complex compression.Cut the cabbage cut into pieces and pass through the juicer.Moisten the natural woolen tissue in juice and fasten to a painful place.
6. The series is another excellent remedy for the treatment of arthrosis.Boil in 250 ml of boiling water 2 large teaspoons series.After 20 minutes, the decoction is ready.Take 2 tbsp three times a day before meals.The course is 30 days.
7. The fat chamomile, Kaledule and Burdoka is well dealing with pain, relieves inflammation.You need to mix in equal quantities of chamomile flowers, calendula, root for burdock, connect the oil plants to want and leave 1-2 days.Use grease for heavy pain to 5 times a day.
8. In boiling water, put equal parts of the bark, birch and calendar flowers.Cook a mixture for 10 minutes, then let you go out under the cover of the same amount.You need to take cooled from chilled 200 ml half an hour before meals.

Prevention

In reducing the risk of arthrosis, the following moments play an important role:

• resolve extra pounds;
• Treatment of muscle-bone pathology;
• active movement during life;
• Proper nutrition (diet, balanced diet);
• Avoiding common hypothermia;
• A healthy lifestyle with the right regime.
