Among the many varieties of joint pathologies that eventually lead to complete loss of cartilage tissue in the joint, deforming osteoarthritis of the interphalangeal joints of the hands is considered one of the most common.
Deforming osteoarthritis of the shoulder joint is often diagnosed in patients with a metabolic-dystrophic disorder accompanied by cartilage destruction, bone overgrowth and shoulder curvature.
With progressive dystrophic and degenerative processes in the bone and joint apparatus against the background of cartilage lesions of the hip joint, the doctor diagnoses coxarthrosis.
An increasing dystrophic process accompanied by changes in the bones of the knee, cartilage damage and bone-tendon degeneration is deforming knee osteoarthritis.
Systemic osteoporosis is a complex multifactorial disease characterized by usually slow asymptomatic progression until the appearance of bone fractures, which in most cases are the first reliable signs of osteoporosis.
Osteoarthritis is one of the causes of pain and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. Most often there is a secondary osteoarthritis of this joint against the background of inflammatory arthropathies.
Osteoarthrosis of the apophysial joints of the spine (spondylarthrosis, osteoarthritis of the spine) and degeneration of the intervertebral discs (osteochondrosis) are various diseases.
Unfortunately, osteoarthritis of the joints of the hands is not as thoroughly studied as gonarthrosis and coxarthrosis. This is probably due to the relative good quality of osteoarthritis of this localization.
Coxarthrosis - osteoarthritis of the hip joint. Most often, osteoarthritis affects the upper pole of the hip joint with upper lateral displacement of the femoral head (about 60% of patients with coxarthrosis, men suffer more often than women).
