"Bone spur" and "hyperosteogeny" are actually common names for irregular osteoarthritis.

Bone hyperplasia is only the imaging manifestation of joint degeneration. Osteoarthritis may not be diagnosed as hyperosteogeny, because some hyperosteogeny is not accompanied by any symptoms.

"Osteoarthritis patients generally have hyperosteogeny", which is correct, but it is not true to infer that "hyperosteogeny is osteoarthritis".

Although knee osteoarthritis is an "ancient" joint disease, it is not entirely a "patent" for the elderly. From the clinic of orthopedics, arthritis patients are not limited to the elderly.

Overuse, injury, obesity, chronic diseases, physical weakness, lack of exercise, genetic inheritance, etc. It will lead to premature wear of articular cartilage and premature aging of human joints.

1 Overweight population

The incidence of knee osteoarthritis in obese women is much higher than that in normal weight women. Overweight and obesity can cause changes in knee joint pressure. The greater the weight, the greater the stress on the joint. At the same time, overweight and obesity will lead to joint stress imbalance and deformation. In addition to the mechanical factors caused by obesity, it is also related to the systemic metabolic factors of obesity.

Two female friends

Knee arthritis is more common in women than in men, especially in postmenopausal women. After the age of 55, the number of female patients increased significantly, and the degree of osteoarthritis was more serious. Therefore, some people think that the decrease of endogenous estrogen may be one of the risk factors of osteoarthritis.

A person with a knee injury.

For example, if the ligaments and meniscus in the knee joint are damaged, the knee joint will be unstable and the articular cartilage will be easily worn. Therefore, ligament and meniscus injuries should be treated as soon as possible.

A person with deformed legs.

When the joint is in the normal position, the force is uniform. If deformities (congenital or traumatic) occur, such as genu varum (O-leg) and genu valgus (X-leg), articular cartilage will be damaged.

Five people who love to wear high heels

Walking in high heels often increases the stress on the knee joint and changes the stress point of the knee joint. In the long run, it will aggravate the degree and speed of knee joint degeneration, especially when wearing high heels to go up and down stairs.

6. Persons engaged in special occupations

Such as miners, heavy manual workers, geologists, teachers, salespeople, professional athletes or dancers who have been working in the field for a long time. , mainly due to long-term stress wear or articular cartilage injury.

7 people who exercise excessively.

In recent years, there are more and more patients with knee joint injury caused by overload exercise and intensive training. Too much walking, too high frequency and unequal posture may all cause chronic joint injuries and may also have adverse effects on muscles and bones. For people who are particularly obese or have joint diseases, excessive weight-bearing exercise may aggravate the wear and tear of articular cartilage. I have osteoarthritis. If I exercise blindly or take inappropriate exercise methods, my condition will easily deteriorate.

Ensure rest

Stop all sports that cause pain, especially running, long jumping and going up and down stairs.

Appropriate activities

For example, walking can improve circulation, but the amount of exercise should not be large, especially climbing stairs or mountains.

Don't rub your knees. Seek medical attention in time.

Knee pain can't be rubbed, so you must go to the hospital as soon as possible. If you don't have a good grasp, pressing and rubbing too hard is likely to aggravate the damage of cartilage, aggravate the diseased cartilage, and even affect the bones below the cartilage, and the pain will be more serious.

The doctor reminds you that if you have the following symptoms, please go to the hospital for relevant examination in time:

◆ Knee pain persisted after two weeks of self-treatment.

◆ It stings when resting (sitting down).

◆ Hesitation

◆ You can see or feel the deformation.

◆ Feel the knees, calves, feet or ankles turn purple and cold (possibly due to circulatory problems) or redness and fever (possibly due to infection).

How to maintain your knees?

This action is a classic action of kneepad. Simple as it is, it is very effective. But it should be noted that friends with joint inflammation must get the doctor's permission to train when the pain is the least! The above picture shows several squats against the wall, the difficulty is from low to high, and this action will strengthen your knee joint to the maximum extent!

Some people say that squatting hurts your knee, right? Why are you doing this? In fact, you can rest assured that 1 does not need weight training, and this movement does not need squat training. Weight-bearing squat training requires a lot of action details, but squatting against the wall is very simple. Almost all muscle groups of thigh, such as quadriceps femoris, biceps femoris, adductor muscle and hip muscle group, can get good exercise, which is of great significance to stabilize the knee joint!

Action requirements: the feet are shoulder width apart, the toes are slightly abduction, and the distance from the wall is roughly one thigh. Slide slowly until your thighs are parallel to the ground. I suggest you keep squatting until you are exhausted every time, so that the effect will be maximized!

Everyone's fitness level is different. Even if you have practiced squats before, you may not be able to hold on to 1 minute in the process of meditation, but this is a normal phenomenon. Practice more, 2-3 times a week, each time 10 minutes. Even if you did 10 minutes, you did 65438+.
