Hip arthrosis, also known as coxarthrosis, is one of the most common diseases of the musculoskeletal system, ranking second after diseases of the knee joints. This disease most often affects people over 40 years old, but can also occur in a young population.
The basis of coxarthrosis is the progressive destruction of the articular cartilage, which leads to bone deformation and the appearance of osteophytes. Among the causes of coxarthrosis are:
on the joint due to excess weight
such as hip joint dysplasia
and joint inflammation
There are several stages of the development of coxarthrosis, each of which is characterized by a different severity:
Stage I: Minor pain after exercise.
Stage II : Persistent pain, limitation of joint mobility.
Stage III: Persistent intense pain, significant limitation of mobility.
Methods such as radiography, CT and MRI are used to diagnose coxarthrosis. Treatment of coxarthrosis may include:
In our center, we offer a comprehensive approach to the treatment of coxarthrosis, using modern techniques and an individual treatment plan for each patient. Our team of professional orthopaedists and surgeons has the experience and expertise needed to effectively treat coxarthrosis at any stage.
Although coxarthrosis is a progressive disease, the right approach to treatment can significantly improve patients’ quality of life and slow its development. Prevention includes maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercising, and avoiding injury.
After successful surgery, most patients experience significant relief. They can restore joint mobility, reduce pain and return to an active life. The duration of the result depends on a variety of factors, including the patient’s lifestyle and condition.
Operative techniques include hip arthroplasty, in which damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial implants. It is a procedure that can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life.
Untreated, coxarthrosis can progress, leading to worsening pain, further restriction of movement, and even disability. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve prognosis.
Conservative treatment includes physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve mobility, as well as taking anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers. Patients are also advised to avoid unnecessary loads on the joint and control their weight.
To diagnose coxarthrosis, X-ray, MRI and/or CT scans are performed. Blood tests also help identify inflammation or other changes associated with the condition.
