Arthrosis of shared knees (gonartrosis) is a disease that characterizes the destruction of cartilage, change in the form of a common and loss of its functions. The initial changes occur at the molecular level, the cartilage begins to become thinner, dark and crack. Finally, the cartilage completely disappears, leading to the legs for immobilization.
Causes of disease
There are many factors in the phenomenon of the joint college arthrosis:
- Violation. All types of fractures, dislocation, etc. Lead to development even at young age. The damaged joint blocks the ability to bend and unobstructed legs. Therapy provides fastening your leg in a stationary position, which significantly worsens blood circulation. As a result, the disease of the knee joint is developed.
- Damage to the meniscus. Each injury to this organ and when removed, gonartrosis will immediately develop.
- Powerful physical activity. Often older people do not understand the seriousness of their physical activity and try to get involved in the same way as in a young age. But this is full of injuries. Even inconspicuous and small injuries bring significant damage to the joints. Therefore, any physical activity would be moderate after 40 years after 40 years. In old age, cartilage is already a lot of thinner than in youth, and they cannot withstand severe physical efforts. Especially negatively for knee joints affects a running on the asphalt surface and squat. If possible, replace these exercises.
- Obesity and excess weight. The excess weight itself cannot affect joint health, but may damage the meniscus. Full people can hardly tolerate such damage, and the knee heals a very long time. With excess surplus weight, the entire load drops precisely on your knees. It is difficult when excessive weight combines with varicose veins. Then the hardest and dangerous form of arthrosis is developing.
- Weak ligamental appliances. The weakened ligaments are usually combined with shared mobility. At the same time, a person can have a very flexible body and easy to sit, for example, on the tape. Such activity leads to knee microtrose, which will lead to arthrosis.
- Various joint diseases. Often the result of arthritis becomes the arthrosis of the knee wrist.
- Bad metabolism.This situation contributes to poorly obtaining the tissues of useful substances. The lack of calcium worsens the condition of bones and cartilage.
- Stressful situations.Permanent nerve tension can negatively affect the joints of the body. Accumulated fatigue must be removed with rest and change the situation. Such a disease is generally suffering from people who have reached 50 years, and basically, these are women.
Before arthrosis, there was great and small joy, sometimes insignificant problems. You can find out more detailed what is, what are the main causes of this disease.
Symptoms of developing arthrosis
Determine that you have started gonartrosis just an expert, but you must contact yourself by finding the following symptoms:
- Pain.The pain is not developing at speed. Usually this disease is accompanied by a weak pain longer months or years. Furthermore, the pain amplifies and the patient feels at rest. Especially the pain is manifested after a long walk. You can remove it with a break, but again will appear, if you pass through a few more kilometers.
- Knee deformation.In the later stages of disease development, the knee collects a swollen look. Her shape is preserved.
- Sinovis.The situation when the liquid accumulates in the knee is the name "sinovitis". Leads to the formation of a bakery cyst. Such a cyst is especially clearly visible in the correct state of the leg.
- Cryst in the knee.This phenomenon appears with Arthrosis 2. And 3. degrees. Cryst is accompanied by pain.
Disease degree
1 degree
With particularly active movements, there is a slight pain. Sinovian fluid can accumulate in the wrist and lead to the creation of a Baker cyst. Pain immediately passes in rest. The damage to the joint does not notice, but the cartilage already begins their deformation. This degree of disease requires additional examinations, not counting X -Ray.
2degree
The joint gap is noticeably narrowed and leads to the creams' deformation. On the radiography, this image is clearly visible. Any movement with the participation of the knee joint causes acute pain. The distinctive crumb that can be heard occurs when the knee is howling. Pain passes at rest. Shortly, the knee is completely ceasing to move, and the doctor can determine external changes in the bones.
3 degrees
A large amount of salt is placed in a common cavity. The cartilage is completely thinner. The disease becomes visually very noticeable.
Medical treatment
There are many methods to remove the arthrosis of a common knee:
- Chondroprotector.Such drugs in their composition have a lion's share of substances needed for the normal functioning of the knee joint: hondroitin sulphate and glucosamine. These medications do not treat symptoms, but also disease. They return the cartilage, promote the production of shared fluids and normalize its special properties. In the third phase, this way of treatment will not help, because there is essentially nothing to renew. In the first two phases, treatment takes place slowly, it takes time for several courses for the treatment and regular use of medications.
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs."Nesteroid" means "not hormonal". They eliminate symptoms: pain, inflammation. That is, they are used in combination with treatment. You can go to the treatment on treatment: physiotherapy, massages or exercises. It's hard to do something out of this if pain is unbearable. Drugs should be used temporarily.
- Fat.As in the case of previous remedies, the fats are removed by symptoms. Heating a fat for blood circulation in the knee is recommended only if there is no sinovitis.
- An injection in the wrist.Thus -a-resisted "clinic" for compounds in acute pain. Injections are carried out for three types of drugs:
- Hyaluronic acidor "liquid prostheses". Replace Sinovi fluid and thus protect the cartilage of even greater destruction. The most effective way, but the most expensive.
- Corticosteroids.They combat pain and eliminate inflammation, but do not heal.
- Chondroprotector.They are used less often, because the efficiency is many times lower than other drugs.
- Manual and physiotherapy.In combination with drug and injection taking it gives a good result. Helps only 1 and 2 phases of the disease.
- Compresses.More efficient than fat and cream. Examples: Bishophyte, Medical Žučica.
- Gymnastics. Let's talk about it in more detail below.
