This disease is considered severe and difficult to cure.The earlier the treatment for this disease begins, the greater the chance of success.Arthrosis of the hip joint unites all diseases related to deviations and disorders in this area.This disease is caused by injury and wear and tear.The disease is united by one feature: the joint layer of cartilage is destroyed, which causes damage to the joint capsule, bone tissue, and muscles.
Arthritis of the hip joint is considered a chronic pathology.Cartilage nutrition is disrupted, tissue is destroyed, and mobility is limited.
What causes this disease?
Cause of disease:
- Trauma, Microtrauma.Often they are not given attention, the disease develops slowly.
- Heavy workload, resulting from the nuances of the profession, excess body weight, and the need to travel long distances.
- After taking certain medications, hip joint heart attacks occur.It is caused by a strong stressful situation, a large consumption of alcoholic beverages.
- Congenital anomalies.

- Age-related changes in hormone levels.
- Bone destruction, often associated with pathology.
A common cause is microtrauma.Symptoms are not always obvious.People who are actively involved in sports or involved in traumatic professions should be careful.If you do not treat the cause in time, the formation of arthrosis is guaranteed.
Degree of disease, their symptoms
Disease symptoms:
- Persistent groin pain.Often spreads to the hip and knee joints.
- Difficulty in movement, stiffness.Symptoms include limited mobility.
- The injured limb should not be moved to the side.
- In severe cases, lameness occurs, gait is disturbed, shortening of the lower limbs is observed, and thigh muscle atrophy occurs.
First degree
Osteoarthritis of the hip joint manifests itself as pain immediately after physical activity - as a result of running or walking long distances.The painful feeling occurs in the pelvic area and is transmitted to the knee and groin area.Gait remains unchanged, no limping observed.Thigh muscles do not atrophy.If you take a picture, you can see the musculoskeletal growth.
Second degree
Symptoms increase.Painful sensations become frequent, constant, and occur at rest.When walking for a long time, a person begins to faint.Limited action of the musculoskeletal ligaments of the thigh appears, and the range of motion decreases.The picture shows that the gap has almost doubled.Bone growth can be seen along the outer and inner edges.The head of the bone grows, loses its shape, moves up, and unevenness is noted along the edges.
Third Degree
Painful feelings take on a painful character.Symptoms are getting worse.Free movement is limited.Sticks or canes are often used.Complete atrophy of the osteoarticular muscles of the thigh, lower leg, and pelvis occurs.Lower limbs become shorter.When walking, the trunk tilts, the center of gravity shifts, and the load on the damaged joint increases.If you conduct an X-ray examination, symptoms can be seen: bone growth in large amounts.The femoral head enlarges significantly, closing the gap.
Disease diagnosis
A timely visit to the doctor and a complete diagnosis is considered the first successful step on the road to recovery.Treatment will occur quickly when the causes are identified.This disease can be cured in the early stages of development.Suspension of illness is guaranteed.

- taking anamnesis;
- examination of the patient by the doctor;
- Determines how mobile the joint is.
How to treat disease
Treatment using medical methods, maybe in stages 1 and 2 of the disease.The third required surgery.To avoid this, it is necessary to establish an accurate diagnosis in time and separate arthrosis from other similar diseases.Treatment should be carried out comprehensively, using:
- conservative way;

- therapeutic massage;
- gymnastics
If you combine therapeutic manipulations, the pain will be reduced, maybe it will disappear completely, and blood circulation will improve.It is impossible to cure arthrosis of the hip joint.It is quite possible to stop the disease and reduce the symptoms.
For outpatient treatment, the following are used: pain relievers;anti-inflammatory drugs;Apply compression with dimexide;Physiotherapy is carried out.Treatment will not bring significant results if it is not carried out comprehensively.
To get rid of spasms, massage procedures are performed.Manipulation increases blood flow to the affected area.As a result, joint nutrition will be better.This is a form of prevention.Carry out massage manipulations, perhaps at home, in a clinic.Prescribed after pain relief, when the acute symptoms of the disease are removed.The combination of this manipulation with dietary nutrition, physiotherapy procedures, taking chondroprotectors, and gymnastics has proven itself to be effective.
An alternative to massage procedures are muscle relaxants - drugs that weaken muscle tone.A kind of preventive tonic.The burden on the kidneys and liver will increase.
Massage in water leads to successful results.To perform this procedure, you must have special equipment.
Methods of combating diseases at home, preventive measures

Proper nutrition
Complex treatment includes dietary nutrition.In order to restore cartilage tissue, it needs augmentation.He can get it thanks to a balanced diet.An important component for the development of muscle mass is protein.It helps to reduce weight and limit the entry of salt into the body.

The tenth edition takes place.ICD 10 combines 22 different disease groups.The disease arthrosis is indicated by ICD 10 codes from M-15 to M-19.Code 16 - Code for hip joint arthrosis.This code is a type of disease coding.According to ICD 10, there are 9 forms of the disease.
Surgical intervention
Used when drug treatment does not cause positive results, when the disease progresses.Methods of surgical intervention:
- Endoprosthetics.Joint replacement with implants.
- Arthroplasty.Individual parts of the joint are replaced.
- Osteotomy.Surgical intervention involves partial replacement and binding of the joint.
- Arthrodesis.During the operation, the bones are connected with a special plate.
The first two methods are considered progressive.Surgical intervention makes it possible to preserve the motor function of the damaged limb and the ability to support.Treatment with surgical intervention is considered a difficult process, accompanied by rehabilitation and post-operative monitoring by doctors.Basically, the surgical intervention ends successfully, the patient returns to his usual lifestyle.
