Hip Arthrosis, treatment

With arthrosis, degenerative-dystrophic changes develop, due to which deformation and destruction of articular tissues occurs.

To understand the extent to which the disease is located, the doctor must conduct a thorough examination of the patient and schedule a radiography.

Joint arthrosis develops due to such situations:

1. When joints are injured;
2. The person is overweight;
3. The hip joint is under stress due to the nature of the work;
4. Congenital malformations of the joints;
5. When the joints become inflamed;
6. When hormonal changes occur in the body;
7. When bone tissue is destroyed.

Symptoms of arthrosis of the hip joint at each degree of the disease are different:

1. With the first degree of arthrosis, periodic pain in the hip joint after physical exertion appears. After rest, they quickly disappear;
2. In the second degree of arthrosis, the pain intensifies and becomes systematic. While walking, a person is lame. The muscles responsible for the motor function of the thigh become weak. Sometimes x-rays can detect the appearance of cysts in the joint;
3. In the third degree of arthrosis, the patient feels severe pain in the joints, even when lying down. He cannot walk without a cane. The joint is not competent. The gait changes a lot.

What is deforming arthrosis of the hip joint

In addition to common arthrosis, deforming arthrosis of the hip joint, which in other words is also called coxarthrosis, is often found. The articular cartilage is thinning due to excessive load and loses its function.

Coxarthrosis of the hip joint develops as well as arthrosis due to injuries, microcracks, joint overload, excess weight, prolonged stress, hormonal failures, joint inflammation, and a congenital anomaly of the femoral head.

Hip Disease Treatment
