A severe dystrophy of cartilage in the joints without inflammation of osteoarthritis. This disease is so common because you started the process directly associated with the aging of the body. Often the pain a little more than 10% of the population. This disease is usually in middle age visible people. Osteoarthritis usually appears to have, and those are smaller as a result, fractures and injuries of the extremities.
The most traumatic places — knee and phalangeal joint. Quite often there arises the disease. The pain I feel really sick for a while. The effects of pain on the joints in the display cases, some of the load. Or pain and the patient may not load if it's not a guess, he's sick.
As a result, a lot of this disease cartilage lose their elasticity. Osteoarthritis sometimes only 2 kinds.
- Primary osteoarthritis. Without why this occurs. His victims in the cartilage of several joints at the same time. The most frequently observed individuals at least 40 years. Only the cartilage starts to break down because of such serious changes from the inside;
- Secondary osteoarthritis. Such significant changes osteoarthritis metabolic processes and circulation (blood and salt metabolism may be impaired). Hormonal disorders are quite common in women in general due to the change in the hormonal background.
Well, who frequently in patients with osteoarthritis:
- Overweight people;
- People have an innate predisposition to disease;
- Older people;
- On a dangerous mission working for the health of people with high loads;
- Disorder metabolism and a shortage of trace elements in the body;
- People had various injuries;
- Some of the athletes.
Osteoarthritis and also share to the extent of disease severity.
- Manifestation of any visible symptoms of osteoarthritis in the first degree is not accompanied. The sensation of pain may occur only during physical activity. However, already at this point and weakening the manifestation of irreversible changes Nov machine;
- The second degree of osteoarthritis. This scene is already quite serious and permanent deformation is concerned with the start joint and osteophyte formations of the first advent. Pain, felt sick, tolerant of one another, but already the color is expressed as. Cracking occurs in joints that are affected. Nov violated function;
- The third degree of osteoarthritis. The most difficult phase of development. Then the cartilage is already largely depleted. Nov cartilage the ability to lose substantially exhausted will be reduced.
Symptoms of osteoarthritis
The following common symptoms of osteoarthritis symptoms:
- Cider pain, growing in cold and rainy weather;
- The joint becomes deformed and significantly increases the volume;
- Temperature increases cover around diseased joints, and maybe increase the heat of the body;
- Visible swelling, resulting in a painful swelling;
- Any load that occur during physical activity (sort of elevator and stairs) joint starts to crunch and squeak.
During illness, if blood is stagnant, the internal bone pressure rises then it may be a pain, but already less portable.
Symptoms of osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease considered as a part of the group. He often may occur for a few years, showing itself only during a slight disturbance, tension, and Nov joints. But sometimes, what is enough for the development of the disease and rapidly increasing for a few months. Therefore when it is displayed the value of the symptoms listed below are addressed immediately PhD.
- A nagging pain. The most common manifestation during exertion;
- Pain and cracking. Pain is most common at low temperatures. Tough at first almost inaudible, but as the disease progresses, she could hear, and even for the environment;
- Visible swelling. Characterized by this symptom and similar disease — arthritis. This parity are demanding that nagging pain.

- Private access to effective medications into the joints. These drugs are a quick fix the normalization of the inflammatory process is characterized by mobility;
- Introduction into the joint special "lubricants" such a hyaluronic acid. After you have implemented this measure was eliminated all inflammatory process. Acid the role of lubrication, reduces friction and improves joint mobility.
Disease worse during surgery
You the drug to help you not have to resort to processes. Among these the most effective are listed below.
- Arthroplasty. A full backup of articular cartilage in a specially constructed primer. As a result of the operation reduces pain and improves mobility;
- Arthroscopy. Prevents joint destruction. As a result deletes the foci of inflammation;
- It's a prosthetic. In this case, all parts are completely artificial joint components are replaced. Components made of materials such as, no by the body recientes. The average life of dentures for over 10 years.
