Symptoms of osteoarthritis

Deforming osteoarthritis of the interphalangeal joints of the hands

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

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.

Deforming osteoarthritis of the hip joint

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.

Deforming osteoarthritis of the knee joint

An increasing dystrophic process accompanied by changes in the bones of the knee, cartilage damage and bone-tendon degeneration is deforming knee osteoarthritis.

Symptoms of osteoporosis in osteoarthritis

Systemic osteoporosis is a complex multifactorial disease, usually characterized by slow asymptomatic progression until the occurrence of bone fractures, which in most cases are the first reliable signs of osteoporosis.

Clinical forms and variants of osteoarthritis

Analysis of the results of large population studies has identified four most common clinical forms of osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis of the shoulder and elbow joints

Osteoarthritis is one of the causes of pain and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. Most often, secondary osteoarthritis of this joint occurs against the background of inflammatory arthropathies.

Osteoarthritis of the spine

Osteoarthritis of the apophyseal joints of the spine (spondyloarthrosis, osteoarthrosis of the spine) and degeneration of the intervertebral discs (osteochondrosis) are different diseases.

Osteoarthritis of the joints of the hands

Unfortunately, osteoarthrosis of the hand joints has not been studied in as much detail as gonarthrosis and coxarthrosis. This is probably due to the relative benignity of osteoarthrosis in this localization.

Osteoarthritis of the hip joint (coxarthrosis)

Coxarthrosis is osteoarthrosis of the hip joint. Most often, osteoarthrosis affects the upper pole of the hip joint with superolateral displacement of the femoral head (about 60% of patients with coxarthrosis, men are more often affected than women).
