Negative changes and the process of destruction occurring in knee cartilage tissue are called knee joint arthrosis. The disease is chronic and is accompanied by symptoms of pain. Often, knee arthrosis develops with age, at a young age, post -traumatic appearance is usually found. The disease is also called gonarthrosis, and the name of the people is "salt deposition".
Mark
Gonarthrosis is the destruction of cartilage tissue due to poor blood circulation in the bone vessels. As a result, the deformation of arthrosis caused by bone growth may develop.
Usually, the first symptom of arthrosis is almost unknown. Poor pain does not bring much discomfort and does not limit movement. It can increase for several years until the disadvantages occur. Symptoms of pain can be slightly intensified after exercise or feet.
As the disease progresses, new symptoms appear and the old ones are enhanced. The pain looks like that and does not pass even for a long time. Weight walking or lifting reacts with prolonged pain in the knee.
After the 2nd stage of knee joint arthrosis, such symptoms appear:
- Synovitis - Fluid together accumulates in the joints. The surplus can trigger the development of dense formation on the posterior wall of the joint cavity. This phenomenon is called cyst baker, it can be cured without surgery.
- Knee deformation. At first it swelled slightly, with the 2nd and 3rd degree of knee shape.
- Crunch. Appears in the 2nd and 3rd stages of the disease. With sharp problems, the symptoms of pain are clearly felt.
- Limited mobility. This is a feature of the 2nd and 3rd arthrosis, when you can bend your feet only at the right angle. With a neglected form, the knees can be truly non -moving, and the joints in it are very defective.
- Mete -sensitivity. Sickness during weather conditions.
Their symptoms and intensity can vary depending on the level of disease progression:
- In the first stage, pain arises after active physical work. Early arthrosis damages the cartilage, but does not change the shape of the joints. The diagnosis of the disease is difficult.
- In the second degree, a narrow joint gap, damaged cartilage tissue is clearly visible in X -Rays. Movement with knee participation causes acute pain, during bending, crisis arises. The joints work worse, their deformation can be seen by the naked appearance.
- At the 3rd level, the naked bone area is "peeking through" through a thin cartilaginous cloth. Salt is placed in the cavity together. The pain persists even during rest.
A type of disease
Knee arthrosis is several types. By origin:
- Main. This type of knee joint arthrosis does not depend on other diseases. At risk are parents, women and people with overweight.
- Secondary. The disease occurs after injury or infectious disease. It can be avoided if you treat the injury or inflammation of the knee joint in time.
By location:
- Two -way. Both knees are affected. The disease has age, continuing to clearly and seriously threatens defects. Two -way arthrosis is the most important.
- Right. The disease attacks the right knee, most often found in athletes and people who often have a burden on the right foot.
- Left -Biri. The left knee suffers, the disease exists in athletes and parents.
Knee arthrosis is a disease that is characteristic, at a larger level, full woman. It is provoked by strong salt deposition. In the early stages of deformation, the interior of the joints is subject to, at the end - the exterior is also affected.Reducing gonarthrosis should begin to be treated as early as possible, until the cartilage in the above area is preserved in normal condition. The main symptoms are pain and acute problems.
Patellofemoral syndrome
Often, knee arthrosis is preceded by patellofmoral syndrome. In literature and medical practice, it is often called arthrosis of the same name. This is a wound of cartilage in Patella. Patellofemoral Syndrome accompanies the following symptoms:
- Pain in the joints, strengthening with prolonged feet, jumping, running, walking stairs or squatting.
- Knee limited mobility.
- Christ and "click" in the joints.
- Station in the joints.
Patellofemoral syndrome usually shows itself in people whose activity or lifestyle is associated with a huge burden on their knees - athletes, obese people. Also, this type of arthrosis haunts the elderly. Often, patellofemoral arthrosis is caused by a severe knee injury.
When diagnosing the syndrome, it is important to immediately keep the entire foot ache. Sometimes, to remove the burden from the knee, the doctor may recommend orthosis or tight bandage. Full people need to lose weight a little. At home to relieve pain, you can make cooling compression.
Patellofemoral syndrome develops progressively:
- In the first stage, pain occurs only after a very strong load, fatigue in the knee is often felt.
- In 2nd and more frequent discomfort, the joints are constrained. Symptoms occur after a break.
- In 3rd pain, significant movement limitations.
It is necessary to treat patallofmoral syndrome comprehensive, and not just relieve pain. Treatment should include medication receipts, introduction of chondroprotectors, physiotherapy. Diet and physiotherapy exercises will not be excessive.
Post -traumatic arthrosis
Post -traumatic arthrosis is a disease that is most commonly found at a young age. After a knee injury, the limbs are fixed, and the blood circulation is worsened. This has a negative effect on cartilage tissue and causes arthrosis. Sometimes post -traumatic arthrosis can develop after surgery in the joint. Scars on the tissue can interfere with the blood supply to the knee.
Types -Types of the disease are chronic, so treatment is intended to ensure that arthrosis does not continue to develop. It is almost impossible to cure your own post -traumatic arthrosis at home. It should receive analgesics, chondroprotectors and antispasmodics, physiotherapy training, massage and hardware procedures. In advanced cases, surgical intervention may be required.
Hemarthrosis
Hemartrosis is a separate type of knee arthrosis that arises from injury or due to problems with blood clotting. Hemartrosis can be caused by these factors:
- bruises or fractures of knee joints and patella;
- traumatic damage to meniscus and cartilage;
- rupture of ligaments or synovial membranes;
- broken femur or large beret;
- hemophilia;
- tumors of various originals;
- some neurological and contagious diseases;
- prolonged intake of anticoagulants;
- osteoarthritis;
- surgical intervention;
- Problems with blood vessels.
- The knees are swollen or very shape;
- When pressed under the finger, the flood is felt;
- Temperatures rise in injured area;
- Stone and a soft blue cloth.
It is possible to properly diagnose hemarthrosis after a joint puncture. In addition to articular fluid analysis, CT and MRI can be made.

Gelatin
At home, you can try to treat deformation arthrosis with gelatin. In large quantities, it contains collagen, which improves the condition of the cartilage and increases the production of interersourgine lubrication. D Geicetine treatment should be combined with the intake of complex vitamins rich in iron and vitamin C.
The healing mixture with gelatin is provided according to this recipe:
