Bone breakdown

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

My mother is 41 years old. They have been suffering from leg pain for several years, bad, we went to many doctors, they said we would operate, but did not respond. The joint area of ​​the foot hurts badly, often. We saw another doctor recently and he said the bone was crumbling. Is there a cure for this disease?

It can be treated. The reason why Wachs use the phrase “we don’t respond” is because such surgeries are a relatively difficult type of surgery. In particular, surgery for severe levels of decay requires strong knowledge and skills from the physician.
Our advice is to take it to a qualified doctor, get it thoroughly examined. If necessary, the appropriate operation is performed.

Bone loss or arthrosis of the joints

Protecting human health and correctly diagnosing and treating diseases are among the main tasks facing medical professionals. All opportunities are being created in the field of medicine in order to detect diseases early and lead a fully healthy life. In particular, a number of innovations in traumatology are aimed at correctly diagnosing and treating patients. In particular, in-depth research is being conducted on the application of new methods in the treatment of bone fractures or arthrosis of the joints. For more information on this topic, we spoke with a doctor of the highest category, traumatologist Odil Valiyev.

- What is osteoarthritis? If you provide information about the factors that cause it.
- Osteoarthritis is a dystrophic chronic disease of the joints, caused by metabolic and endocrine disorders, joint injuries, colds, intoxication, infectious diseases. Osteoarthritis affects the large knee, pelvis, calf, wrist, and small joints, especially the spinal joints (spondyloarthritis). In this case, the joints are slightly swollen, painful when pressed, bending, squeaking sound is heard when writing. This condition is more common among people in their 40s and 60s.
- Tell us about the structure of the joints and the diseases that occur in it.
- There is a gap between the surfaces that allows the bones to move together. Often, the tubular bones of the foot and hand thicken in the joint area, forming bumps and pads on the opposite surface of the other bone. The joint surfaces of the bones are covered with joint joints, which reduce the shocks that occur during movement, allowing the joint to move freely and elasticly. The ends of the bones involved in joint formation are composed of connective tissue, surrounded by a joint sac and a synovial membrane on the inside. This membrane produces a fluid that moistens the surface of the joints and facilitates their movement, otherwise the surfaces of the bones that form the joint during movement will rub against each other, causing pain and limited mobility.
Depending on the shape of the joint surfaces are divided into spherical (multi-axial), coiled (single-axis), ovoid (double-axis) joints. Some bones are joined together without the help of a joint, using connective tissue, ligaments, and joints. The movement of the joints ensures that the person is able to walk, bend, work. Cold weather, illness, injuries, metabolic disorders adversely affect the activity of the joints. Regular physical activity strengthens them. Among the diseases of the joints are diseases such as its injury (bone loss), osteoarthritis (inflammation due to congenital or metabolic disorders), arthritis.

- What are the causes of bone loss?
- Aging, removal of the ovaries in women, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) due to certain hormonal changes in the body, even if the girl reaches puberty, long-term use of hormonal drugs, as well as smoking, drinking alcohol etc. can be specified. At the same time, low intake of calcium-rich foods, high-protein and phosphate-rich foods, excessive coffee consumption, vitamin D deficiency, prolonged inactivity, circulatory disorders in the joints , congenital defects in the joints, lack of estrogen hormones during menopause in women, injuries, bone fractures, various infectious diseases also lead to bone loss.
- What measures are taken to prevent the disease?
- First of all, parents should control their children's consumption of calcium-rich foods from childhood. Regular exercise, adequate sun exposure, reduction of high risk factors, i.e. alcohol, low coffee consumption, smoking, avoidance of hunger, consumption of calcium-rich products during pregnancy are essential.
Smoking reduces intestinal calcium absorption, estrogen production, and bone weight. Excessive consumption of coffee and table salt increases the excretion of calcium in the urine.
- What products are recommended to consume more so that joints and bones are not brittle?
- The daily requirement of calcium in the elderly is 1500 mg. This need is rich in calcium - milk and dairy products (cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese), fish, liver, vegetables (cabbage, soy, peas, moss, turnips), dried and wet fruits (sorghum, figs, apples) and can be satisfied with walnuts, sesame, almonds, peanuts. The elderly should also limit the amount of red meat (young beef, veal) in their diet. Fish and liver are rich in vitamin D, and calcium and phosphorus are well absorbed in the intestine. Oxalate preservatives (greens, tea, chocolate) and large amounts of plant fiber (root fruits, melons) reduce the absorption of calcium.
Lack of calcium in the food consumed, a decrease in its intestinal absorption, and insufficient travel of patients in the sun can also cause osteoporosis.
Calcium supplements are recommended when patients consume less milk and dairy products and are unable to digest them. In the treatment of bone fractures with drugs, the type of drugs and the duration of their administration, as well as the type and degree of manifestation of the disease, the age and sex of the elderly, their existing chronic diseases, taking into account previous bone fractures.
- Will the patient return to a normal lifestyle after treatment?
- Severe bone fractures, ie grade 3-4 arthrosis, are treated surgically. One of them is an artificial joint - after the endoprosthesis surgery, patients can return to a normal lifestyle.
