The disease is considered severe and difficult to treat.The earlier the course of treatment for the disease begins, the more chances of success.Hip joint arthrosis combines all diseases associated with deviations and disorders in this area.Illness is the result of injury and wear and tear.Diseases are united by one feature: the cartilage joint layer, which is the joint capsule, damages the bone tissue and muscles.
Arthrosis of the hip joint is considered a chronic pathology.Cartilage nutrition is disturbed, tissue is destroyed and mobility is limited.
What causes disease
Causes of the disease:
- Trauma, microtrauma.Often they are not paid attention to, the disease develops slowly.
- Heavy workload, nuances of the profession, excess weight and the need to move long distances.
- After taking certain drugs, a heart attack of the hip joint occurs.A strong stressful situation, large consumption of alcoholic beverages is caused.
- Congenital anomaly.
- Inflammatory process.
- Age-related changes in hormonal levels.
- Bone destruction is often associated with pathology.
A common cause is microtrauma.Symptoms are not always obvious.People who actively participate in sports or engage in traumatic occupations should be especially vigilant.If you do not treat the cause in time, the formation of arthrosis is ensured.
Degrees of the disease, their symptoms
Symptoms of the disease:
- Pain in the groin area is constant.It often spreads to the hip and knee joint.
- Difficulty in movement, stiffness.Symptoms include limited mobility.
- The injured limb cannot move to the side.
- In severe cases, darkness occurs, gait is impaired, shortening of the lower limb is observed, and atrophy of the thigh muscles occurs.
First class
Osteoarthritis of the hip joint manifests itself as pain immediately after physical activity - as a result of long-distance or long-distance walking.A painful sensation occurs in the pelvic area and is transmitted to the knee and groin area.The gait remains unchanged, no heaviness is observed.Thigh muscles do not atrophy.If you take a picture, you can see the musculoskeletal growth.
Secondary
Symptoms increase.Painful sensations often stabilize and occur at rest.When walking for a long time, a person starts to get weak.Limited movement of the musculoskeletal ligaments of the thigh is seen and the range of motion is reduced.The picture shows that the gap has almost doubled.Bony growths are noticeable along the outer and inner edges.The head of the bone grows, loses its shape, moves upward, and unevenness is noted along its edges.
Third class
The painful feeling takes on a painful character.Symptoms worsen.Independent movement is limited.A stick or cutch is often used.Complete atrophy of the muscles of the osteoarticular thigh, lower leg and pelvis occurs.The lower muscle becomes noticeably shorter.When walking, the torso tilts, the center of gravity shifts, and the load on the damaged joints increases.If you do an X-ray examination, the symptoms appear: a large volume of bone growths.The femoral head is greatly expanded, closing the gap.
Diagnosis of the disease
A timely visit to a doctor and a complete diagnosis is considered the first successful step to recovery.Treatment will take place as soon as the causes are determined.The disease can be treated at an early stage of development.Stopping the disease is guaranteed.
X-rays help to make a diagnosis.The method is considered the most reliable.Auxiliary methods to find the causes of the disease:
- taking anamnesis;
- examination of the patient by a doctor;
- Determining how mobile connectivity is.
How to treat the disease
Treatment using drug methods, perhaps in the 1st and 2nd stages of the disease.The third will require surgery.To prevent this, it is worth making an accurate diagnosis in time and distinguishing arthrosis from other diseases of a similar nature.Treatment should be carried out thoroughly, use:
- conservative means;
- manual therapy;
- therapeutic massage;
- gymnastics
If you combine therapeutic manipulations, the pain will decrease, maybe go away completely, and blood circulation will improve.Treatment of arthrosis of the hip joint is completely impossible.It is quite possible to stop the disease and alleviate the symptoms.
The following are used for outpatient treatment: painkillers;anti-inflammatory drugs;apply compresses with dimexide;Physiotherapy is carried out.If the treatment is not carried out thoroughly, it will not bring material results.
Massage procedures are performed to remove spasms.Manipulation improves blood flow to the affected area.As a result, the nutrition of the joint will be even better.This is a kind of prevention.Perform massage manipulations, perhaps at home, in a clinic.Prescription after pain, when the acute symptoms of the disease are removed.The combination of these manipulations with dietary nutrition, physiotherapeutic procedures, taking chondropodectors and gymnastics proved to be effective.
An alternative to massage procedures are muscle relaxants - drugs that weaken muscle tone.A kind of tonic prevention.The load on the kidneys and liver will increase.
Water massage leads to successful results.Special equipment is required to perform this procedure.
Methods of combating the disease at home, preventive measures
Treatment of the disease in the main stages of development, perhaps at home.Prevention is carried out, they do water procedures, self-massage, apply lotions, rub with ointments, balsams, infusions.You can use herbal teas.
Treatment of the disease at home does not give the desired result.Many people consider such an activity a waste of time and effort.It is worth using traditional medicine together with traditional methods of treatment, then it will be possible to eliminate the signs and symptoms of the disease for a long time.
Proper nutrition
Complex treatment includes dietary nutrition.It requires filling to restore the cartilage tissue.He can get it thanks to a balanced diet.An important component for the development of muscle mass is protein.It helps to reduce weight and limit the flow of fat in the body.
Tips for proper nutrition:
- Eat foods rich in animal protein: fish, beef, chicken.
- Include dairy products in your diet.Their use is considered an important disease prevention.
- Forget sweets and starchy foods.
- Cook porridge in water.
- Try to eat 5 servings of vegetables a day.
- Avoid alcoholic drinks, strong tea, coffee.
- Eat small meals, but more often.
If you follow a healthy diet, the load on the hip joint will be less.Arthrosis of the hip joint is considered a severe form of the disease.
Coxarthrosis according to ICD 10
There are regulatory documents covering all countries that systematize and affect the human body and health.Thanks to the approach, there is a single method that determines the treatment of diseases.The international classification of problems and the occurrence of diseases is considered the basis of the classification of health care.The document is revised every ten years.
Tenth edition in effect.ICD 10 combines 22 different disease groups.Arthrosis of this disease is indicated by ICD 10 codes from M-15 to M-19.Code 16 - Code for arthrosis of the hip joint.A code is a type of disease coding.According to ICD 10, there are 9 forms of the disease.
Surgical intervention
Drug treatment is used when the disease progresses and does not lead to a positive result.Methods of surgical intervention:
- Endoprosthetics.Joint replacement with an implant.
- Arthroplasty.Individual parts of the joint are replaced.
- Osteotomy.Surgical intervention includes partial replacement and joint fixation.
- Arthrodes.During the operation, the bones are connected with special plates.
The first two methods are considered progressive.Surgical intervention allows to preserve the motor function and supporting capacity of the injured lower extremity.Treatment with surgical intervention is considered a difficult process accompanied by rehabilitation and post-operative monitoring by a doctor.Basically, the surgical intervention ends successfully, the patient returns to his usual way of life.
