Hip joint arthrosis or coxarthrosis is a form of chronic arthritis that has caused the destruction of cartilage tissue, bone joint exposure and joint deformation.The disease is classified as a very serious disease, as amputation or prosthetic may indicate treatment.
Cause
The main factors that lead to the disease are:
- damage and serious injury.that affects the hips;
- Excessive weight or lifestyle that causes very serious pressure on the hip joint.
- Necrosis of joint tissue, which can be caused by infection, alcohol or drug abuse.
- Postpartum injury and congenital pathology of congenital bone tissue.
- The process of inflammation in the joints.
- Changes in bone and joint structure caused by age.
- Osteoporosis is a pathology associated with the destruction of bone tissue.
Degrees and signs of waist joint arthrosis
In anamnesis (medical history), arthrosis occurs in three consecutive stages.
Coxarthrosis degree 1
The first degree is full of the fact that the articular or synovial fluid loses its properties as a type of lubricant that fills the capsule together.The cartilage tissue gradually wears and begins to be replaced by a bone formation called osteophytes.
The first degree is treated in 100 percent of cases, but due to unclear symptoms, patients rarely come to the hospital with complaints.If, when walking or lifting heavy objects, the pain occurs in the hip, which radiates to the thighs, then you should go to the doctor immediately.
Degree -2
At this stage, damage to the joint tissue is more active.The number of bone growth increases, the cartilagin layer becomes thinner.X-rays reveal inflammation of the periosteal section.Early symptoms are increasing: the pain syndrome increases, the peak of pain occurs at night or dawn, walking and walking.The joint modification gradually begins.
The degree of -3
In the third stage, cartilage tissue disappears completely.The movement of the foot is limited, as well as strong anesthetics does not relieve pain.Indications for treatment are amputation of the foot in the hip joint or replacement of the joint with prosthesis.
Diagnostics
The early stages of treatment for coxarthrosis are the timely diagnosis and accumulation of anamnesis (medical history).If the diagnosis is made in the early stages, the disease will be healed or delayed significantly.
The most important way to detect the disease is X-ray.Patient examination, external signs and tests are the first secondary steps that complete an overview of medical history.
Therapeutic treatment
Keep in mind that the doctor gives a direct answer to how to treat hip joint arthrosis.The first and second stages can be treated, the third stage is treated with surgery.
The following drugs are used as an outpatient treatment:
- anesthetic agents;
- drugs that fight inflammation;
- Compressing and "dimexide" drugs - cartilage recovery, similar injections are also used;
- Physiotherapy, gymnastics, exercise therapy, diet.
All methods are used as a whole, otherwise treatment will not produce results.
Massage helps relieve severe muscle cramps and distractions, as the manipulation of massage restores lymph and activates blood supply.Massage is used in the first stage after the main symptoms have been relieved: pain, tumor, inflammation in the joints.
The same remedy for massage can be a course for taking muscle relaxants - medicines that can reduce and relieve muscle tension.
For drug treatment, painkillers, gels and ointments that do not contain steroid derivatives.The use of steroids can cause lumps and cause severe bone growth in damaged tissues when steroids begin to replace the lost substance in synovitis.
Proper nutrition and diet
A balanced diet helps the body receive the nutrient and micro complexes needed for the "building" of joint tissue.The main task of using a diet is to provide the body with protein for muscle and cartilage tissue structure;Calcium is also required for bone structure and synovial fluid;Diet helps the patient eliminate salt deposits in the joints and lose weight, a load that has adverse effects on joints and bone joints.
Suggestions and hints:
- It is necessary to take a balanced and balanced amount of protein (chicken, beef, fish).Meat and vegetables -salted salts are prohibited;
- fresh dairy products, cottage cheese;
- Sugars and starch foods must be excluded from the diet;
- Priority is the grain porridge cooked in water;
- You need to start eating different vegetables five times a day;
- Bad habits are completely eliminated;
- To normalize metabolism, you need to eat a little, but more often.
The diet will reduce the burden on the joints, as the body will lose excess weight, and will also create a prerequisite for tissue recovery.
Coxarthrosis is a very serious disease full of pain and loss of feet, but it can be treated very effectively.You just need to consult your doctor on time, have a regular medical examination and can "hear" your body.Comprehensive methods using therapy will bring results, and the body will recover.
